Algoma Steel is laying off more than a third of its workforce as it accelerates a transition to new equipment in response to U.S. tariffs.
The company started issuing some 1,050 layoff notices Monday morning, said Bill Slater, president of United Steelworkers Local 2724, including about 150 to his members.
