The implementation of a 50% tariff on imported steel and aluminum by the U.S. has raised concerns for Stelco, a steel manufacturer in Hamilton. Workers, like Ron Wells from United Steelworkers Local 1005, fear these tariffs will further strain sales relationships with U.S. customers and could lead to reduced orders. Although there are no current job losses at Stelco, typical hiring practices have been affected, leaving workers feeling stressed about potential future impacts. The overall sentiment among workers is more frustration than fear, as uncertainty looms over the sector's stability.
The fear is these additional tariffs might hurt Stelco's customers and their ability to sell to their U.S. customers. The trickle-down effect could have adverse impacts.
Trump's tariffs have already had a big impact. His employer lost all its U.S. business, representing about 30 percent of its work. Now the fear is companies that buy from Stelco will find it harder.
