随着汉密尔顿Stelco钢铁厂的第一批工人收到裁员通知，一些人表示他们对未来感到压力巨大——并且愤怒，因为在2024年美国克利夫利夫斯公司（Cleveland-Cliffs）收购该公司时，他们曾被承诺工作岗位将得到保护，如今却陷入这种境地。
As the first batch of workers from Hamilton's Stelco steel plant receive layoff notices, some say they're stressed about their futures – and angry they're in this position after being promised job protection when U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs bought the company in 2024.
“在商业中没有感情，但不幸的是，当我们成为这里的工人时，我们有感情，我们有生活，我们有家庭，这简直是灾难性的，”31岁、两个孩子的父亲乔丹·威廉姆斯（Jordan Williams）在周三收到裁员通知后说道。
"There's no feelings attached in business, but unfortunately, when we're the workers down here, we have feelings, we have lives, we have families and it's catastrophic," said Jordan Williams, a 31-year-old father of two who got his layoff notice Wednesday.
“我们不仅仅是一个数字……我是乔丹·雅各布·威廉姆斯先生，还有[联合钢铁工人]地方1005分会的所有兄弟姐妹，以及你们公司[以及]其他地方的员工，我们感到非常、非常受伤，”威廉姆斯在周四接受CBC新闻采访时说，当时他正试图想象自己失业后的未来。“感觉我们正在被出卖。”该钢铁制造商上周初宣布计划在汉密尔顿闲置部分产能，当时表示这可能导致公司在汉密尔顿和南蒂科克两地最多出现500名裁员。
"We're not just a number… I'm Mr. Jordan Jacob Williams, along with all the other brothers and sisters of [United Steelworkers] Local 1005 and across your company [and] we're very, very hurt," Williams told CBC News on Thursday, as he tried to imagine his future now he is out of work. "It feels like we're being sold out." The steelmaker announced plans to idle some production in Hamilton at the start of last week, saying then that it could result in up to 500 layoffs between the company's Hamilton and Nanticoke locations.
首席执行官洛伦索·贡卡尔维斯（Lourenco Goncalves）表示，加美之间的贸易战使得业务的某些方面变得无法持续。
CEO Lourenco Goncalves said the trade war between Canada and the United States has made aspects of the business untenable.
汉密尔顿预计将有333人被裁员；南蒂科克则在40到50人之间。地方1005分会主席罗恩·韦尔斯（Ron Wells）——该分会负责代表汉密尔顿Stelco工人——在周四告诉CBC新闻，他们现在预计本单位将有333人被裁员，此外公司位于伊利湖工厂（Lake Erie Works）的南蒂科克分厂还将有额外裁员。
Hamilton expects 333 layoffs; between 40 and 50 in Nanticoke Ron Wells — president of Local 1005, which covers Stelco workers in Hamilton — told CBC News on Thursday that they are now expecting 333 layoffs within their unit, with additional layoffs at the company's Lake Erie Works in Nanticoke.
韦尔斯表示，本周最后一班轮班时，汉密尔顿将有85到90名工人收到裁员通知，下周大约还有75人，其余的则在再下一周发放。
Wells said between 85 and 90 Hamilton workers will get their layoff notices on their last shift this week, with about 75 more next week, and the rest the week after.
南蒂科克的裁员通知预计将从10月24日起发放，地方8782分会主席约翰·麦克罗伊（John McElroy）在周四表示。他说，南蒂科克预计将有40到50人被裁员，但他补充说，工会正积极谈判以保护其中一些岗位，要求公司裁减外包承包商，以便让更多正式员工能够继续就业。
In Nanticoke, layoff notices are expected starting Oct. 24, Local 8782 president John McElroy said Thursday. He said 40 to 50 layoffs are expected there, but added the union is actively negotiating to protect some of those jobs, asking the company to eliminate outside contractors so more of its permanent workforce can remain employed.
上周，克利夫利夫斯公司（Cleveland-Cliffs）企业传播高级总监帕特·佩西科（Pat Persico）表示，随着公司在安大略省南部纳尼科克（Nanticoke）的伊利湖工厂（Lake Erie Works）整合生产，公司的钢铁总产量不会受到影响。她对加拿大广播公司（CBC）表示，“受汉密尔顿无限期停工影响的大量员工应能被吸收”到那里。
Last week, Cleveland-Cliffs' senior director of corporate communications Pat Persico said the company's total output of steel will not be impacted as it consolidates production at its Lake Erie Works in Nanticoke. She told CBC that "a significant number of employees affected by the indefinite idle at Hamilton should be absorbed" there.
然而，周四，麦克罗伊（McElroy）称这一说法“完全不真实。他们只为超过400名被裁员的工人提供了20个生产岗位”，他说。
On Thursday, however, McElroy called that claim "100 per cent untrue. They're only offering 20 production jobs for over 400 laid-off workers," he said.
周五，加拿大广播公司汉密尔顿分部给佩西科发邮件以澄清这一明显的差异，但在出版时尚未收到回复。‘关系重大’威廉姆斯（Williams）在这家公司工作了四年，成长于巴顿街东（Barton Street East）和肯尼沃思街北（Kenilworth Street North）附近，靠近史泰科（Stelco）和该市工业区的社区之一。他说他的曾祖父曾在史泰科工作，他的兄弟目前也在那里工作。
CBC Hamilton emailed Persico on Friday to clarify this apparent discrepancy but did not hear back by the time of publication. 'A lot at stake' Williams, who has worked at the company for four years, grew up near Barton Street East and Kenilworth Street North, in one of the neighourhoods closest to Stelco and the city's industrial sector. He said his great-grandfather worked at Stelco and his brother works there now.
“这肯定在我们的血液里，”他说，并补充说家族成员认为汉密尔顿的钢铁行业是通往良好收入和职业的途径。“我一直梦想着上高中，最终在钢铁厂工作。”如今，他正在思考史泰科的未来，也担心该地区其他钢铁企业以及裁员对更广泛经济的影响。他不确定自己将如何支付账单。
"It's definitely in our blood," he said, saying members of the family saw Hamilton's steel industry as a pathway to a good income and career. "I always dreamed of going to high school and eventually working in the steel mill." Now, he's wondering what the future holds for Stelco and is also worried about the other steel businesses in the area and the impact the job losses will have on the greater economy. He's not sure how he'll pay his bills.
渥太华真的会把史泰科告上法庭吗？以下是上次发生的事情：史泰科的裁员正在进行中，工会主席表示将分三周推出。“我得说实话，我还没准备好面对即将到来的事情，”他说。“我有两个年幼的孩子，所以当你必须付抚养费、勉强收支平衡、买杂货、付房租时，到了一天的末尾就会非常艰难。显然，我对此有点担心。”他说，他希望加拿大的政治领导层能够谈判降低关税，并希望在此事上看到更多可见的行动。
Will Ottawa really take Stelco to court? Here's what happened last time Layoffs at Stelco underway, and will roll out over 3 weeks, says union president "I'll be honest, I'm not ready for what's to come," he said. "I have two young children, so when you have to pay child support, barely make ends meet, buy your groceries, pay your rent, it's very tough at the end of the day. So obviously I'm kind of worried about that." He said he's looking to Canada's political leadership to negotiate a tariff reduction, and wishes there was more visible action on the file.
我们都需要振作起来，坐下来开始做出成年人的决定，因为关系重大，"他说。"压力开始显现"迈克·瓦特，他也在汉密尔顿磨坊工作，周四被告知将在周五收到裁员通知。他说他早有预感，但原本以为自己可能还能多工作一周再被裁员。"压力开始一点点显现，"他周四对CBC说，表示汉密尔顿的工人将能够领取就业保险（EI），并在被裁期间获得少量补贴，但这不足以覆盖他的开支。
"We all need to get our big-boy panties on, come to the table and start making the grown-up adult decisions because there's a lot at stake," he said. 'The stress is starting to set in' Mike Watt, who also works at the Hamilton mill, was told Thursday he'd get his layoff notice on Friday. He says he knew it was coming, but thought he might get an extra week on the job before being laid off. "The stress is starting to set in a little bit," he told CBC's on Thursday, saying Hamilton workers will be able to collect Employment Insurance (EI) and get a small top-up while laid off, but it won't be enough to cover his expenses. (McElroy in Nanticoke said laid-off workers at that facility are not eligible for a top-up so will have to rely solely on EI.)
（纳蒂科克的麦克罗伊表示，该设施的被裁工人不符合补贴资格，因此只能依赖EI。）"账单不会停止。房贷付款也不会停止，"瓦特说。"我在空闲时间一直在申请工作。到目前为止，我甚至去了阿尔伯塔省申请工作。无论什么工作。根本没有机会。"渥太华给克利夫利夫斯公司直到周二结束的时间来提交一份在汉密尔顿保留工作岗位的计划，否则可能面临法律行动。
"The bills don't stop. The mortgage payments don't stop," Watt said. "I've been applying to jobs today in my downtime. So far I went all the way to Alberta to apply for jobs. Anything. There's nothing out there." Ottawa has given Cleveland-Cliffs until the end of Tuesday to share a plan to keep jobs in Hamilton or face potential legal action.
2009年，加拿大工业部曾起诉史蒂尔科前任所有者美国钢铁公司，因其未能保障工作岗位。该案于2011年庭外和解。
In 2009, Industry Canada sued Stelco's previous owner, U.S. Steel, over job protection. The matter was settled out of court in 2011.
加拿大保守党领袖皮埃尔·波伊利夫尔呼吁“政府起诉史蒂尔科的所有者并执行工作保障。”他在周五于安大略省伯灵顿宣布该党新成立的钢铁议员小组，该小组由沃恩-伍德布里奇选区的国会议员迈克尔·古古列敏担任主席。
Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on “the government to sue Stelco’s owner and enforce job guarantees.”He was in Burlington, Ont., on Friday to announce the party’s new steel caucus, chaired by Michael Guglielmin, MP for Vaughan-Woodbridge.
周四，工业部长梅兰尼·乔利的发言人加布里埃尔·兰德里在给CBC的邮件中表示，政府将“动用一切可能的杠杆来捍卫加拿大工业，保护就业，并确保供应链安全。”兰德里还补充说，政府曾提出提供财政支持以维持史蒂尔科的运营。"它拒绝这些切实可行的建议并继续进行裁员的决定令人极度失望，"她说。
In an email to CBC on Thursday, Gabrielle Landry, spokesperson for Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, said the government would "use every lever possible to defend Canadian industry, protect jobs, and secure our supply chain." Landry added that the government had offered to provide financial support to sustain Stelco's operations. "Its decision to reject these practical proposals and continue with layoffs is extremely disappointing," she said.
