US Steel Canada Responds to Secret Agreement Appeal
Written by Sandy Williams
US Steel Canada presented its arguments against revealing the confidential settlement between USSC, US Steel and the government of Canada. In a response filed with the Court of Appeal for Ontario on November 11, 2015, US Steel Canada asked that the appeal by the USW, USSC employees and pensioners, and the City of Hamilton be dismissed.
The appellants want the December 8, 2011 “secret agreement” between Canada, USS, and USSC revealed, claiming it is relevant to the CCAA proceedings for US Steel Canada. In April, a CCAA judge dismissed a motion for disclosure of the agreement.
