这家总部位于美国的钢铁制造商斯泰尔科公司的母公司首席执行官表示，他已准备好与加拿大政府在法庭上对抗，以维护斯泰尔科裁员数百名工人的计划。
The CEO of the American company that owns Hamilton-based steelmaker Stelco says he's prepared to fight the Canadian government in court to preserve Stelco's plan to lay off hundreds of workers.
克利夫兰克里夫公司首席执行官洛伦索·贡卡尔韦斯周日做客加拿大广播公司节目时，反驳了政府关于该公司违反《加拿大投资法》下具有约束力的就业承诺的说法。
Speaking Sunday on CBC's , Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves disputed the government's characterization that the company is violating binding employment commitments under the Investment Canada Act.
工业部长梅兰妮·若利上周表示，克利夫兰克里夫公司在2024年收购斯泰尔科时，包含“承诺在2029年之前，继续雇用至少与交易宣布时相同数量的工会员工，以及绝大多数非工会员工”。
Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said last week that Cleveland-Cliffs' 2024 purchase of Stelco included "undertakings to continue to employ at least the same number of unionized employees and the vast majority of non-unionized employees as were employed when the transaction was announced" through 2029.
“合同中没有任何条款规定我必须在五年中的每一天都将就业维持在某个特定水平，”贡卡尔韦斯周日说道。“如果那是加拿大政府的强加要求，我是不会接受的。”贡卡尔韦斯重申了斯泰尔科的立场，即裁员是一项临时措施，直到加拿大和美国达成贸易协议，届时工作岗位将会恢复。
"There is no provision in the contract that I have to keep employment at a certain level every single day of the five years," Goncalves said on Sunday. "If that was an imposition of the Canadian government, I would not have accepted." Goncalves reiterated Stelco's position that the layoffs are a temporary measure until Canada and the U.S. reach a trade agreement, and that the jobs will be restored.
他还表示，他对外出售公司持一开放态度，并对美国对加拿大钢铁征收关税表示支持，尽管斯泰尔科曾将关税列为其经济困境的关键原因。
He also said he's open to selling the company and voiced support for U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel, despite Stelco citing tariffs as a key reason for its economic struggles.
斯泰尔科所有者在与渥太华就裁员问题争端之际对出售公司持开放态度 10月11日 持续时间 加拿大政府的最后通牒 若利上周向该公司发出了最后通牒：分享一项计划，以拯救汉密尔顿工厂可能受影响的多达500个工作岗位，否则将面临潜在的法律诉讼。
Stelco owner open to selling company amid fight with Ottawa over layoffs October 11 Duration Ultimatum from Canadian government Joly issued an ultimatum to the company last week: share a plan to save the up to 500 jobs that could be impacted at the Hamilton plant or face potential legal action.
总理马克·卡尼上周还表示，渥太华将在追究这家总部位于俄亥俄州的公司时“动用我们拥有的所有权力”，直至“法律的最大范围”。
Prime Minister Mark Carney also said last week that Ottawa will "use all powers that we have" against Cleveland-Cliffs as it pursues the Ohio-based company to the "fullest extent of the law."
斯泰尔科公司在致若利的一封回信中表示，该公司将继续推进裁员，政府将此举定性为违反承诺是“虚假的”。
Stelco Inc. said in a letter responding to Joly that the company will proceed with the layoffs and the government's characterization of the move as a breach of undertakings is "false."
斯泰尔科称，尽管渥太华发出法律诉讼威胁，汉密尔顿的裁员仍将进行 被解雇的斯泰尔科钢铁工人对公司未来及自身命运感到焦虑：“我们被出卖了” 该公司强调“斯泰尔科的状况是超出其控制范围的因素导致的”，并援引美国总统唐纳德·特朗普征收50%关税的影响。但贡卡尔韦斯周日表示，他支持针对加拿大的钢铁关税。
Stelco says Hamilton layoffs still happening despite Ottawa's threats of legal action Laid-off Stelco steelworkers stressed about company's future — and their own: 'We're being sold out' The company emphasized "Stelco's situation is a result of factors beyond its control," citing the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's 50 per cent tariffs. But Goncalves said Sunday he supports steel tariffs against Canada.
“我赞成对世界上所有向美国倾销钢铁的国家征收关税，”他说道，并补充说《232条款》关税已经让“美国钢铁产业复兴”。“我赞成《232条款》。毫无疑问。”
"I am in favour of tariffs against all the countries in the entire world that dump steel into the United States," he said, adding that the Section 232 tariffs have brought "the American steel industry back." "I'm in favour of Section 232. There's no doubt about it."
当被问及是否会考虑出售公司时，贡卡尔韦斯回答说：“如果有好报价，会的”，但他补充说，他仍然相信该公司能够“继续做加拿大的一名好公民”。
Asked whether he would consider selling the company, Goncalves said, "For a good offer, yes," but added that he still believes the company can "continue to be a good citizen in Canada."
他在先前接受加拿大广播公司新闻采访时表示，如果他知道“加拿大和美国会变成现在这样——在贸易上成为敌人，我就不会收购斯泰尔科了”。
He told CBC News in a previous interview that he "would not have acquired the Stelco if I knew that Canada and the United States would become what they became — enemies in trade."
裁员正在进行中 上周收到解职通知的斯泰尔科员工乔丹·威廉姆斯呼吁贡卡尔韦斯对工人们的关切给予书面答复，包括制定一份针对汉密尔顿冷轧和涂层钢铁业务未来发展的“可信”计划。
Layoffs underway Jordan Williams, a Stelco employee who received a layoff notice last week, is calling on Goncalves to provide a written response to workers' concerns, including a "credible" plan for Hamilton's cold-rolled and coated steel operations in the future.
他在周日发送给加拿大广播公司新闻的声明中说：“你们将采取哪些步骤来保护工作岗位、支持我们的家庭并提供重返工作岗位的途径？这些裁员不仅局限于工厂大门之内，还波及依赖汉密尔顿工业的企业和社区。”
"What steps will you take to protect jobs, support our families and provide a path back to work?" he said in a statement sent to CBC News Sunday. "These layoffs reach beyond the plant gates and into the businesses and neighbourhoods that depend on Hamilton industry."
代表汉密尔顿斯泰尔科工人的美国钢铁工人工会第1005分会主席罗恩·韦尔斯上周告诉加拿大广播公司新闻，裁员正在进行中，预计将在三周内分批展开。工会主席称斯泰尔科裁员正在进行中，并将于3周内分批展开他说，预计汉密尔顿将有300至350人被裁，安大略省南蒂科克的斯泰尔科伊利湖工厂还会有更多人被裁。
Ron Wells, president of the United Steelworkers Local 1005, which covers Stelco workers in Hamilton, told CBC News last week that layoffs are underway and expected to roll out over three weeks. Layoffs at Stelco underway, and will roll out over 3 weeks, says union president He said he expects 300 to 350 layoffs in Hamilton, with more at Stelco's Lake Erie Works in Nanticoke, Ont.
韦尔斯当时告诉加拿大广播公司新闻，此前曾表达过对特朗普及其关税支持的贡卡尔韦斯，急于在美国中期选举前让人觉得特朗普的关税正在发挥作用。
Wells told CBC News at the time that Goncalves, who has previously expressed support for Trump and his tariffs, is eager to make it appear as though Trump's tariffs are working ahead of midterm elections in the U.S.
“基本上，我希望联邦政府拿他们杀鸡儆猴，”韦尔斯说道。“我们只想确保他们……说到做到。”
"I hope, basically, the federal government makes an example out of them," Wells said. "We just want to make sure they … follow through with it."
