Good Evening Sisters, Brothers, and Retirees.

With the ongoing tariff threats, unfortunately, there will be layoffs next week, affecting five employees so far. However, the company is still operating with 18 extra bodies, and decisions continue to be made on a week-to-week basis.

The Oil Temper business has continued to decline. At this point, they just have enough demand to sustain one production line. The OT stock area is full, and there have been no shipments to the U.S., which typically accounts for 60% of our oil-tempered business.

Regarding the training opportunities mentioned last week, it appears they will not be moving forward at this time. I have been advocating for the company to post at least a few training opportunities, as now would be an ideal time, but there is no confirmation yet.

Yesterday, I distributed Hamilton Steelworkers Adjustment Centre cards to those affected by the layoffs. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of their free services, including resume upgrades and training programs. The centre is also available to assist with Employment Insurance (EI) applications if needed.

I truly hope these layoffs are temporary and that affected members will return soon. I will continue to share updates as I receive more information.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.

In solidarity,
