Federal NDP Leader Avi Lewis and Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles are calling on the federal government to nationalize Hamilton-based steelmaker Stelco, amid layoffs Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says violate the company’s agreement under the Investment Canada Act.
In a release Tuesday, Lewis said the federal government should take “immediate action” after Stelco’s American owner Cleveland-Cliffs broke its commitment to maintain the same number of unionized workers and similar numbers of non-union workers for five years when it bought the company in 2024.
