Three Scenarios Associated with US Steel Granite City Announcement
Written by John Packard
First, before everyone goes completely crazy regarding the US Steel announcement to “idle” the Granite City Works steel plant, SMU has been told by Courtney Boone, US Steel media spokesperson, that the plant would not go down prior to May 28, 2015. A lot can happen (and will happen) in the industry prior to that date.
A WARN notice is required to give the workers a 60 day notice of possible layoffs. In the case of Granite City the layoff notice could potentially impact 2,080 workers.
