The federal government has given steelmaker Stelco a 15‑day deadline to reverse the layoffs announced at its Hamilton plant. The order, issued by Labour Minister Mona Joly, warns that failure to comply could lead to a lawsuit that might force the sale of Stelco’s Canadian operations.
Stelco must act by November 6, 2026, to undo the job cuts in Hamilton. The minister intervened after the company announced the reductions, offering a brief window before any court action is pursued.
