United States Steel Corp is planning to lay off nearly 200 American workers at its Great Lakes, Michigan plant while it halts production for at least six months.

Filings with the state of Michigan reveal that U.S. Steel will lay off close to 200 American workers at its Great Lakes plant while production is halted, Reuters reported. The workers could be laid off for more than six months, executives said, and will include workers from the plant’s blast furnace operation and furnishing sector.

In June, U.S. Steel announced that it would halt production at blast furnaces at plants in Great Lakes and at its Gary Works, Indiana plant — resulting in layoffs American workers.

Only 200?  Kind of an insignificant number, and hardly newsworthy.  My dad worked for USS from 1954-55 until his retirement 30 years later.  Ghost mill now.  EVERY YEAR he worked for them, he was either laid off or the *&*$$%%### steel union went on strike.  Every. Frigging. Year.  You getr no love or concern from this family.  A piddling 200?  Really!
