Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 2, 2014 United States Steel Corporation (“U. S. Steel”) announced it will indefinitely idle two tubular manufacturing facilities in McKeesport, Pa., and Bellville, Texas, in early August, impacting approximately 260 employees as a result of business conditions which are influenced by unfairly traded tubular products imported into the United States. The indefinite idling of these loss-making operations will reduce the number of U. S. Steel’s tubular facilities from 10 to 8, but will enable U. S. Steel to operate more profitably as it repositions to meet future customer demand. Approximately 45 professional and management employees and 215 represented employees were advised of the upcoming idling and restructuring job reductions and are being issued notices under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN).
A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(d) Exhibit
99.1. Press Release titled: “U. S. STEEL TO IDLE TWO TUBULAR FACILITIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AND TEXAS; FOREIGN DUMPING OF UNFAIRLY TRADED TUBULAR PRODUCTS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR”
