More than 600 Iron Range steelworkers out of work as auto industry cuts orders because of tariffs

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“More than 600 Iron Range steelworkers will be out of a job as mines that supply the struggling auto industry go offline. Cleveland-Cliffs will temporarily idle two Minnesota operations: Hibbing Taconite Co. in Hibbing and the Minorca Mine in Virginia. The Ohio-based company, North America’s largest producer of flat-rolled steel, has notified the state of the upcoming layoffs, according to a statement Thursday.

A statement from the company, reported by the Duluth News Tribune, states that the idles "are necessary to re-balance working capital needs and consume excess pellet inventory produced in 2024."

1. Workers will receive unemployment and subsidized pay through their union.

Anti-vaccine family’s kid dies from measles, they’re still anti-vaccine

Trump supporters wife gets deported by Trump, still supporting Trump.

Pro-tariff workers get laid off because of tariffs, still pro tariff.

This is what happens when people’s positions are disconnected from reality.

Just not paying attention to your spaminating, there is going to be some overlap in some agendas. Avoiding that is impossible. Of course, Progs find that quickly and the reason we have massive waste.

You did not research the issue sufficiently. Not surprised. You lazi ass anti intellectual jaddrools just latch onto the first piece of information that supports what you what to believe. That's confirmation bias

Here is the rest of the story:

And automakers are contending with 25 percent steel tariffs imposed on steel imported from Canada and Mexico.

Ford CEO Jim Farley told investors earlier this month that even though his company gets most of its metal from within the U.S., it will still feel the effects of the tariffs because its suppliers have global sources for aluminum and steel.

“I’m worried in general about our economy right now,” said Hauschild. “I think there’s a lot of uncertainty happening at the federal level. We don’t know how tariffs will impact our economy, especially in northern Minnesota, and so I’m pretty nervous about what could happen in the future.”

Hell, the rayon plant that used to be in my AO would lay-off employees all the time between contracts.....They would hire them back when they had another contract to fulfill.....A new contract might mean running full bore for years....Rince and repeat.

Nothing new under the sun there. It's just that everyone has become so weak thinking what they are intitled to they forget that a business is there to make money, not to create "make work" jobs.

No shit! Such is the scourge of capitalism. It is well documented in the book “Regulating the Poor “ by Piven and Cloward . Having said that, would you care to address my actual point: The fact that every one here was quick to jump on the fact that the layoffs were due to factors other than the tariffs -but ignored the information that tariffs played a significant role.

So what?

Market conditions are always affected by something....In this case either over production or possibly tariffs.....But we know what you want to believe.

I don't invest in companies that waste money by keeping on workers on that are not needed.

Quit being weak.

Tariffs? Biden and the democrats inflation costs us more than any 100 tariffs will cost us

These temporary idles are necessary to rebalance working capital needs and consume excess pellet inventory produced in 2024

While Cleveland-Cliffs executives say they expect President Donald Trump’s tariff plans to shift the industry in their favor, tariffs are shaking up the U.S. auto industry and could have downstream effects on American-made steel.

So these steel workers appeared they weren't laid off from trump tariffs. The auto industry might feel the tariffs though.

As Trump’s nascent trade war takes hold, Minnesota taconite producers may benefit from a 25% tariff on steel.

I mean, the article doesn't paint the doom and gloom picture you are trying to present

Yes of course “Let then eat grass “ (Or was it cake? )

We all know how that turned out

If you are going to support the free market you must also support the social safety net for those left out in the cold when the market pulls back . Most conservative do not.

Quit being a fool

Now about those tariffs. Do you or do you not agree that the tariffs exacerbated that companies problems and is dragging down the economy in general?

Another question: Do you see an upside to the tariffs that outweigh the obvious harm that they are doing, or do just support then because the Orange Ogre tells does?

Answer honestly. Don’t be shy

I'm a big believer in reciprocal tariffs, so no issue to me at all. The market will just have to readjust....End of story.

In my AO loggers are working again at logging, not surviving on residential tree work so tariffs are working for them.

As for laid off workers they will have unemployment to fall back on, same as those Rayon workers in my AO did 30 years ago.

Of course, they would have had more savings were it not for Biden's inflation eating it away.

Let them eat unemployment benefits, paid for from employer taxes.
