Local media reported on Friday that a portion of the laid-off workers from RG Steel's Sparrows Point, Maryland plant have been told to report back to work. Many believe that the recall of some furloughed workers is a sign that the financial problems that had been plaguing RG Steel are beginning to ease.

SteelOrbis first reported the halting of production at Sparrows Point on December 28, 2011. Since then about 600 employees at the Sparrows Point mill have been issued furlough notices. RG Steel idled the "L" blast furnace at the mill as well as all hot-melting operations, while some finishing operations are still in effect.
