Transkrypcja 0:07 On October 11th, we reported threatened stelco layoffs. 0:10 Now Ottawa has hired lawyers. 0:12 Up to 500 Hamilton jobs are at risk, and the government is warning that legal action 0:16 could come within days. 0:18 Can Ottawa turn the owners' employment promises into protection that reaches workers 0:22 before their jobs disappear? 0:24 Stelco workers are still receiving notices despite the government's intervention 0:28 threat. 0:28 The announced idling affects Hamilton's cold-rolled and coated steel operations. 0:33 Workers are losing work while Ottawa and American owner Cleveland Cliffs argue over 0:37 the promises attached to its takeover. 0:39 Up to 500 jobs are now at risk in Hamilton. 0:42 The company's earlier estimate put that exposure against about 600 jobs at the 0:46 plant. 0:47 That's the potential impact. 0:48 The number of completed layoffs still isn't clear. 0:51 When we reported on October 11th, more than 300 workers were expected to be affected 0:55 over three weeks. 0:56 That was a forecast. 0:57 The latest Hamilton estimate is higher, and earlier figures also covered a different 1:01 combination of sites. 1:02 An earlier plan put about 330 expected job impacts in Hamilton. 1:07 within up to 500 across Hamilton and Lake Erie Works in Nantecoke. 1:11 Those figures can't be added to the newer Hamilton estimate. 1:14 The union's earlier tally was about 90 workers, described first as layoffs and later 1:18 as notices issued. 1:20 It expected about 85 more notices that week. 1:23 Those snapshots and forecasts don't give a current total and shouldn't be added 1:26 together. 1:27 Some notices have already stopped workers from returning for their next shift. 1:31 For others, receiving notice and losing work can happen on different days. 1:35 Ottawa's threat hasn't stopped that process. 1:37 Mike Watts says he was laid off after roughly two decades at the plant. 1:41 He's looking for other work while family bills continue. 1:44 He has also described applying at Lake Erie Works as a possibility involving a 1:48 longer commute and lost seniority. 1:49 Jolie says the owner has broken its Investment Canada Act commitments. 1:53 That law governs federal review of foreign acquisitions. 1:56 She says Ottawa has retained lawyers, is reviewing the deal and the company's 2:00 letter, and remains open to negotiations to preserve jobs. 2:03 Jolie's October 5th letter to Stelco President Paul Simon sought a job maintenance 2:07 plan within five business days. 2:09 Conservative labor critic Kyle Seaback said the cutoff was October 13th at 5 p.m. 2:14 That's his account of the deadline. 2:16 Stelco had already replied on October 9th, and Ottawa acknowledged the response by 2:20 October 10th. 2:21 The fight is over whether that reply satisfies the government's demand. 2:25 Jolie now calls the timing a question of days. 2:28 No court filing has been confirmed. 2:30 Seaback predicted a court application the following day. 2:33 That prediction hasn't become an announced lawsuit. 2:36 Jolie's latest warning sets a shorter horizon for possible action without giving the 2:41 company a new fixed date or hour. 2:43 Cleveland Cliffs completed the takeover on November 1st, 2024, after final federal 2:48 approvals two days earlier. 2:49 Ottawa says the approval carried binding commitments to maintain Canadian 2:53 employment, including unionized jobs for five years, extending to 2029. 2:57 Ottawa treats these cuts as a breach of that protection. 3:01 Cleveland Cliffs chief executive Lauren Cogon Calves says temporary layoffs comply. 3:06 He says the commitment doesn't require a fixed employment level every day, and he's 3:10 prepared to fight Ottawa in court. 3:11 The full employment undertaking isn't public in the material available here, so its 3:15 detailed rules and exceptions remain unclear. 3:18 A court hasn't resolved the competing interpretations. 3:20 The Investment Canada Act allows a minister to apply to a superior court after 3:24 failure to comply with a formal demand. 3:26 Jolie says Ottawa could seek an order enforcing the promises, financial penalties, 3:31 or a sale of Canadian assets. 3:33 Those remain possible remedies. 3:35 Jolie is still pursuing negotiations as well. 3:37 Goncalves has separately said he'd consider selling Stelco for a good offer, but he 3:41 hasn't announced a buyer or a sale agreement. 3:43 Stelco blames tariffs and market conditions, including weak demand, low steel 3:48 prices, and import pressure. 3:49 It cites US steel tariffs of up to 50%. 3:53 It also says exports of some steel products to the United States have fallen 58%. 3:57 Goncalves supports US steel tariffs while seeking a separate arrangement for Canada. 4:02 That puts him behind the same policy tool he blames for Stelco's difficulties. 4:07 Union leader Ron Wells suspects the cuts are also intended to pressure Ottawa into a 4:11 trade deal. 4:12 Cleveland Cliffs says workers would be recalled if Canada and the United States 4:16 reach a steel trade agreement. 4:18 Gonkalves has reportedly suggested a return by Thanksgiving 2027. 4:22 Workers still don't have an agreed recall schedule. 4:25 Wells's pressure campaign allegation hasn't been proven, and the company's export 4:28 figures don't settle whether these particular layoffs were unavoidable. 4:32 For workers, a recall tied to a future trade deal leaves their return dependent on 4:36 negotiations beyond the plant. 4:38 Pierre Poeliev wants a lawsuit and tariff-free trade talks. 4:41 Avi Lewis and Merritt Stiles advocate public ownership. 4:44 Polyevra hasn't said he supports nationalizing Stelco. 4:48 The earlier claim that he did was wrong. 4:50 Seaback opposes nationalization. 4:52 He also wants measures against foreign steel dumping and removal of the industrial 4:56 carbon tax. 4:57 Prime Minister Mark Carney earlier left a federal purchase open as a possibility 5:01 without committing to buy the company. 5:02 Queens University Law Professor Nicholas Lamp proposes temporary federal ownership. 5:07 If a forced sale produces no private buyer, he warns that displaced workers could 5:11 retire or find other jobs, making lost steel-making capacity harder to restore. 5:16 Drew Fagan sees a possible precedent in how Ottawa enforces promises about Canadian 5:20 industrial operations, but the immediate protection remains unresolved. 5:24 Ottawa has received the company's response, hired lawyers and spelled out remedies 5:28 while notices continue and no preservation agreement has been announced. 5:31 The government is looking for a faster way to preserve the Hamilton operation. 5:35 A court-ordered sale could take so long that layoffs, closure, or substantially 5:39 reduced operations happen before the process finishes.
