Stelco的哈密尔顿工会主席表示，他将支持联邦政府对这家钢铁制造商的接管，该公司正在实施预计将导致数百个岗位流失的裁员。
Stelco's Hamilton union president says he would support a federal government takeover of the steelmaker, which is implementing layoffs expected to cost hundreds of jobs.
联合钢铁工人地方1005分会主席罗恩·韦尔斯（Ron Wells）表示，该分会长期以来一直支持联邦政府接管这家钢铁制造商的想法，该公司由总部位于美国的克利夫利夫斯（Cleveland-Cliffs）所有。
Ron Wells, president of United Steelworkers Local 1005, which covers Stelco's workers in Hamilton, says his local has long supported the idea of the federal government taking ownership of the steelmaker, which is owned by U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs.
韦尔斯在周四接受CBC哈密尔顿采访时说：“我们早在2014年Stelco被置于[债权人保护]时就说过这一点，但当时没有人真的听我们的。”他说：“这可能很复杂，而且需要很长时间，但与此同时，我们需要让我们的成员重新上班……在一个理想的世界里，我们可以同时实现这两件事。”上周，联邦政府和安大略省新民主党都呼吁对该公司进行国有化，这紧随英国今年为将两家钢铁公司置于公众所有权之下所做的努力之后。
"We said that back in 2014 when Stelco was put in [creditor protection] and nobody really listened to us," Wells told CBC Hamilton on Thursday. "It’s probably complicated and will take a long time, but in the meantime we need to get our members back to work… In a perfect world, we could have both of those things." In the past week, the federal and Ontario NDP parties have called for the company's nationalization, following the United Kingdom's efforts this year to take public ownership over two steel companies there.
联邦政府正在考虑将克利夫利夫斯告上法庭，称该公司在2024年收购Stelco时违背了其承诺，即在五年内保持相同数量的工会工人和类似数量的非工会工人。
The federal government is looking into taking Cleveland-Cliffs to court, saying the company broke its commitment to maintain the same number of unionized workers and similar numbers of non-union workers for five years when it bought the company in 2024.
克利夫利夫斯首席执行官洛伦索·贡卡尔维斯（Lourenco Goncalves）坚称，公司依法有权进行裁员，因为这些裁员是临时性的——计划持续到加拿大和美国达成贸易协议为止。贡卡尔维斯曾表示支持美国对外国钢铁的关税。
Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves maintains the company is within the law to conduct layoffs because they are temporary — planned to last until Canada and the United States reach a trade deal. Goncalves has expressed support for the U.S. tariffs on foreign steel.
皇后大学法学院和政策研究学院副教授尼古拉斯·兰普（Nicolas Lamp）告诉CBC哈密尔顿，接管这家公司可能符合加拿大的最佳利益。
Nicolas Lamp, associate professor in the faculty of law and school of policy studies at Queen's University, told CBC Hamilton that it could be in Canada's best interest to take over the company.
他说：“加拿大政府真的需要仔细审视这些裁员的原因，以及一家更具同情心——即既考虑到加拿大工人，也考虑到加拿大国家利益——的公司是否会采取类似行动。”他上周如此表示。
"The Canadian government really has to look very closely at what the reasons for these layoffs are and whether a company that was more sympathetic — that had the Canadian workers and also the Canadian national interest in mind — would act similarly,” he said last week.
“为最坏的情况做准备，但抱有最好的希望。”被裁员工威尔斯（Wells）这样说。此前他曾表示，他预计哈密尔顿将有333人被裁，南坦科克（Nanticoke）将有更多人被裁。他还说，上周有90名哈密尔顿工人被裁，本周预计还有85人将收到裁员通知。
'Prepare for the worst but hope for the best,' says laid-off worker Wells, who previously said he expects 333 layoffs in Hamilton and more in Nanticoke, said 90 Hamilton workers were laid off last week and 85 more are expected to get their notices this week. Worker Chelsey Mastej got her layoff notice on Friday, and says she was "completely in shock."
工人切尔西·马斯泰杰（Chelsey Mastej）在周五收到了裁员通知，她说自己当时“完全震惊了”。马斯泰杰的主要部门是冷轧部，该部门正在被裁减，但她最近一直在焦炉工作以填补空缺，她说在那里她的工龄比将继续工作的人更长。
Mastej's primary department is the cold rolling section, which is being cut, but she had been working in the coke oven recently to fill in for a vacancy, and says she had more seniority there than someone who will keep their job.
“谁该留、谁该走存在差异，”她周四在接受CBC哈密尔顿采访时这样说。
"There has been discrepancies of who gets to stay and who gets to go," she told CBC Hamilton on Thursday.
CBC联系了克利夫利夫斯（Cleveland-Cliffs）以就裁员程序和马斯泰杰的担忧征求评论，但截至发稿时未收到回复。
CBC contacted Cleveland-Cliffs for comment on the layoff process and Mastej's concerns but did not hear back by the time of publication.
马斯泰杰说她很热爱自己的工作，肯定会“想念不上班的日子”，但她说工人们早已感觉到变化即将到来。她说她很理解她的同事，他们已经像家人一样，尤其是那些面临高额账单的人。
Mastej says she loves her job and is "definitely going to miss not being at work" but says workers there had a feeling for some time that changes were coming. She says she feels for her colleagues, who she said have become like a family, especially those facing high bills.
“我在冷轧部的一个朋友，她的女儿打冰球，费用很高，”马斯泰杰说。
"One of my friends in cold roll, her daughter is in hockey and it’s very expensive," Mastej said.
她说她希望尽快返回工作岗位，但正在为即将到来的一切在心理和经济上做好准备。“我猜你只能为最坏的情况做准备，但抱有最好的希望，”她说。
She says she's hoping to return to work soon but is mentally and financially readying herself for whatever is to come. "I guess you just prepare for the worst but hope for the best," she said.
为降低钢铁进口而呼吁 当地工会周三举行了一次会议，马斯泰杰参加了会议，会议讨论了如何申请失业保险以及职业再培训的机会。威尔斯表示，将于10月22日在哈密尔顿钢铁工人权力中心（Hamilton Steelworkers Power Centre）举行另一次会议，地址为巴顿东街1031号，时间为下午1点至3点。
Calls to reduce steel imports The local held a meeting Wednesday, which Mastej attended, to address topics such as how to apply for Employment Insurance and opportunities for job retraining. Wells said it will host another one on Oct. 22 at the Hamilton Steelworkers Power Centre at 1031 Barton Street E. from 1 to 3 p.m.
他说，工人们对现有的就业前景感到沮丧，也对尽管他们在生产世界所需的产品却仍被裁员感到不满。
He said the workers feel frustrated by the job prospects available, and also by the idea that they are being laid off despite producing something the world needs.
“他们觉得被坑了，”韦尔斯说，并指出从一份收入体面的制造业工作转为领取失业保险金——失业保险金只能拿到工资的一小部分——对许多工人及其家庭来说将是艰难的。“他们并不高兴，而且有理由不高兴。”韦尔斯说，1005地方分会计划在未来几周在史泰科威尔科克斯街大门外举行集会。他们呼吁克利夫利夫斯公司履行其就业承诺，结束裁员，并要求政府收紧关税配额，以防止其他国家向加拿大倾销廉价钢材。
"They feel screwed over," Wells said, noting moving from a decently paid manufacturing job to Employment Insurance, which pays a fraction of a worker's full wage, will be hard for many workers and their families. "They’re not too happy and rightfully so." Wells said Local 1005 is planning a rally outside Stelco's Wilcox Street gates in coming weeks. They're calling for Cleveland-Cliffs to uphold its commitment to employment and end the layoffs, and for the government tighten the tariff rate quotas to prevent other countries from exporting cheap steel into Canada.
“毫无疑问，最大的罪魁祸首是美国，”他说。“他们免税进口。”
"By far, the biggest culprit is the USA," he said. "It comes in duty-free."
哈密尔顿西—安卡斯特—邓达斯选区的国会议员约翰-保罗·丹科周四在社交媒体上发文讨论了此事，他在X平台上表示：“美国而非中国的平板钢产品进口是对史泰科加拿大生产的最大威胁，而为史泰科大规模裁员所提供的理由是自相矛盾的，这对工人和克利夫利夫斯公司自身股东来说令人深感担忧。”他在Facebook上指出，有报道称史泰科加拿大在裁员前已停止向任何美国客户出售其加拿大业务生产的钢材，并且该公司已停止接受国内加拿大客户对即将停产产品的订单。
John-Paul Danko, MP for Hamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas, posted about the issue Thursday on social media, saying on X that "imports of American, not Chinese, flat-product steel are [the] largest threat to Canadian production at Stelco and the justifications provided for Stelco's mass layoffs are contradictory, and deeply concerning for workers and Cleveland-Cliffs' own shareholders." On Facebook, Danko noted reports that Stelco Canada had stopped selling steel from its Canadian operations to any US customers before the layoffs, and that the company stopped taking domestic Canadian orders for the products being discontinued.
“加拿大政府不会屈服于美国的利益，”他写道。“我们的政府将采取一切必要措施，在支持工人并投资于加拿大以发展国内钢铁市场的同时，让克利夫利夫斯公司为其行为承担责任。”
"The Government of Canada will not capitulate to American interests," he wrote. "Our government will take every measure necessary to hold Cleveland-Cliffs responsible for their actions while supporting workers and investing in Canada to grow the domestic Canadian steel market."
