Plan in the works to save hundreds of Algoma jobs, union says

Published on

Algoma laid off more than 1,000 workers last week after it accelerated plans to switch over to a new production system.

Plans are in the works to save hundreds of the roughly 1,000 jobs slated to be lost at Algoma Steel Inc. ASTL-T in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.

Bill Slater, president of United Steelworkers local 2724 that represents some of the affected employees, says as many as 500 people could be back at work by the end of next year.
