United States Steel Corporation
X announced today it will consolidate its North American Flat-Rolled
operations and temporarily idle its Granite City Works operations in Granite
City, Ill. As the primary flat-roll supplier of Lone Star Tubular Operations,
the consolidation is part of an on-going adjustment of steelmaking operations
throughout North America to match customer demands.
The company routinely adjusts production at its operating facilities to
reflect market fluctuations. The consolidation is a result of challenging
market conditions that reflect the cyclical nature of the industry. Global
influences in the market like reduced steel prices, unfair trade, imports and
fluctuating oil prices, continue to have an impact on the business. The
company will be working closely with its customers through this
consolidation. The company will continue to operate its steelmaking
operations in Alabama, Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
As part of the consolidation, 2,080 employees at Granite City Works are being
issued notices under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN)
Act. These notices are separate from the notices related to the permanent
shutdown of Granite City Works' coke making facility.
