United States Steel Corporation (US Steel) may temporarily cut 390 union and non-union workers' jobs at Granite City Works within three weeks. The steel mill previously reported that about 400 workers remained at the mill after 1,600 of their co-workers were temporarily laid off in mid-December.
US Steel spokesman John Armstrong said some workers will remain working at the steel plant after the upcoming round of layoffs.
Mr. Armstrong said, "I can't tell you how many there will be, but there will continue to be some work at the plant. I don't have a number. But by and large, a majority will be on temporary layoff. It's about orders."
