U. S. Steel to consolidate flat-rolled operations

United States Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, will consolidate its North American flat-rolled operations and temporarily idle its Granite City Works operations in Granite City, Ill. As the primary flat-roll supplier of Lone Star Tubular Operations, the company is proceeding with the consolidation as part of an ongoing adjustment of steelmaking operations throughout North America to match customer demands.

The company will continue to operate its steelmaking operations in Alabama, Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

As part of the consolidation, 2,080 employees at Granite City Works are being issued notices under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act. These notices are separate from the notices related to the permanent shutdown of Granite City Works' coke-making facility.
