Stelco will recall all 175 temporarily laid-off workers at its Hamilton, Ont., finishing plant effective Dec. 1 and will pay them retroactively for the shutdown, according to a Cleveland-Cliffs release Friday. The plant was idled Oct. 9. The company said it reached agreement with enough customers and that the recall is not due to government intervention.
