Al Jazeera English reported that Canadian steelmaker Stelco will bring back 175 workers following pressure from the government. The company also said it will provide back pay to employees whose layoffs were attributed by its U.S. owner to tariffs, weak demand and imports. The recall and compensation come as the firm seeks to address the impact of trade measures and market conditions on its workforce. Officials said the move aims to restore jobs and mitigate the financial strain on affected workers.
The decision reflects ongoing tensions in the steel sector over trade policies and demand fluctuations.
