The federal government has given Stelco’s U.S. owner, Cleveland-Cliffs, until Tuesday evening to submit a plan to save up to 500 steelworker jobs in Hamilton or face legal action. NDP Leader Avi Lewis says a court fight would take years while workers lose their livelihoods, and argues Ottawa should nationalize the plant to save Canada’s steel industry.
