This month has started off with a new approach and different vision. We were able to report a profitable first quarter with the expectation of a rewarding second quarter to follow. Our new CEO, Lourenco Goncalves, and his Executive Management Team met with me to discuss the bright future Burns Harbor has with the Cleveland-Cliffs family. CEO Goncalves stated there were numerous projects earmarked for investment to continue the advancement of our Plant to ensure we remain competitive.

After our meeting, we greeted Congressman Frank Mrvan at the USA Building to discuss environmental issues, infrastructure and the importance of utilizing steel made in America, followed by a tour of our plant with stops at the Hot Strip Mill and Hot Dip Line.

We are off to a promising start. As the Company continues to hire, we will see more improvements throughout our mill. However, with new Employees in the area we also need to remain diligent in our commitment to safety and participate in the Safety Transformation “Take 5” Roll Out program the Company is introducing this month.

Sadly, our Cleveland Plant suffered a recent tragedy when a salaried HSM worker fell and succumbed to his injuries. Please keep their family and co-workers in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

In Solidarity, 
Pete Trinidad Sr.
