United States Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, has announced it is examining a consolidation of its North American flat-rolled operations and may temporarily idle its Granite City Works steelmaking operations and most finishing 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 potential consolidation is a result of continued challenging global market conditions including fluctuating oil prices, reduced rig counts, depressed steel prices, and unfairly traded imports. The company will continue to operate its steelmaking operations in Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
As part of the possible consolidation, 2,000 employees at Granite City Works were issued notices under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act on Oct. 6, 2015.
