The federal government says about half of the 1,000 Algoma Steel workers facing layoffs will be eligible for rehiring by the end of next year, after Industry Minister Mélanie Joly secured commitments from the company and unions during a Friday visit. Ottawa will consider financial support for a new plate mill and structural-beams plant and guarantee retraining access to protect local jobs.
