    Another steel mill bites the bullet and lays off employees as a result of poor market conditions.

    Alton Steel laid off 88 union workers at its melt shop and bar mill for a period of at least three weeks or more. According to a union member in report by local news source The Telegraph, the melt shop has been cut back to one shift from two and the bar mill from three shifts to two.
