Steel manufacturer Cleveland-Cliffs is planning to pause operations at several plants following a broader financial loss and reduced revenue. The company will idle three steel plants located in Pennsylvania and Illinois. This decision comes after Cleveland-Cliffs filed a WARN notice, indicating layoffs affecting over 500 employees. The temporary closure of the Dauphin County steel mill has impacted numerous workers, while the Conshohocken steel mill faces indefinite closure. These actions reflect the challenges faced by the steel industry amid fluctuating market demands and economic pressures.
