Topic: Major Weirton Plant Closing.

[Flat Tire 2]

A tinplate production plant in Weirton will idle in April, resulting in potential job losses for 900 workers, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. announced today.
The plant in Weirton got caught up in the unforgiving churn of the international market economy. The company cited an earlier unanimous decision issued by the International Trade Commission negating the implementation of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on tin mill products calculated by the Department of Commerce.
