Evraz says ‘unfair’ steel imports to blame for coming Regina layoffs
In a statement, a company spokesperson said “unfairly traded imports continue to negatively impact its Canadian operations. High volumes of cheap imports are flooding the Canadian market, making it difficult to compete for business.”
“Due to these imports, and starting next month, ENA will make production adjustments that will regrettably result in layoffs at its Canadian facilities.”Speaking from Calgary, Evraz Canada senior vice-president Michael Yeats said the layoffs will affect workers at the company’s pipe mills in Camrose, Alta.
“A lot of those imports are being sold below our cost which is making it very difficult to compete in the domestic steel industry,” Yeats said. “We can expect in Regina we’re going to have over 100 people impacted by this and in Camrose likely over 30 people.”
