Stelco Lake Erie Works (original) (raw)

Stelco Lake Erie Works is a greenfield steel mill located in Nanticoke, Ontario, Canada. All the employees who work for this operation are unionized by United Steelworkers Local 8782; which is a local that is exclusive to the employees of the former Stelco Lake Erie Works. The site has been a source of jobs for many people in both Haldimand County and Norfolk County for more than 30 years. Ever since the first elements of steel were manufactured during the summer of 1980, this steel mill has produced materials for major industrial workplaces like General Motors and the other major North American manufacturing companies. The plant was shut down in March 2009 by US Steel Canada as its major auto customers saw car sales fall 28% in Feb. The plant was not reopened until near the end of April 2
