U.S. Steel will cut more jobs, according to a series of media reports Wednesday and Thursday. The cut may include more layoffs in Slovakia and North America.
The company will lay off about one quarter of all North American nonunion employees, which works out to about 750 people. Among the bigger names to be affected, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, will be Matthew Perkins, general manager of the company’s flagship mill in Gary, Ind., as well as the company’s two top safety managers.
U.S. Steel counts about 21,000 employees in North America, about 18,000 of which are represented by United Steelworkers.
The company has another 12,000 in Europe, most of whom are located in Kosice, Slovakia, where more layoffs are expected. Five years ago, those numbers were around 23,000 and 19,000, respectively.
