Fuckem. If anything I hope the industry gets nationalized (and keeping a strong union) if that means the workers keep their jobs. Letting US companies own our industries was a mistake.

Goncalves also compared potential Canadian government action to the regime of former Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, noting Chavez nationalized Venezuela’s steel industry in 2008. “We are not in Canada to lay off people, we believe in the workforce, we believe in the market, we believe that Canada is a country of laws,” Goncalves said. “I don’t think that Canada is Venezuela, let alone Venezuela under Hugo Chavez.”

Here's a law for you, Lou.

Hey, who is this Lourenco Goncalves guy, anyways?

The current head of Cleveland-Cliffs, a multi-billion-dollar mineral extraction company with mining operations throughout Minnesota's Iron Range, was named in a 2005 sexual harassment lawsuit in Texas that cost his then-company more than $300,000 in a settlement, according to court documents.

Oh

The employee says in her complaint that she was working late on March 7, 2005, at Metals USA's office. She often stayed late and started early and worked her way from Goncalves' assistant to a manager, according to the complaint. She no longer reported Goncalves, the complaint said.

Goncalves was also at the office that night, and he came down to the employee's office while she was on the phone, the complaint says. He beckoned her to come to his office, a suite separated from the rest of the office by a set of glass doors that were always closed, the complaint says.

The employee ended her conversation and went to his office. Goncalves at first talked business, but eventually his voice changed, and his comments turned sexual, the complaint says. Goncalves grabbed the employee by the wrist and pulled her to his body, then ran his arm and hand over her breasts and said "ummm, feels good," the complaint says.

He pressed his face against her breasts and moaned, the complaint says. The employee pulled away from Goncalves and said she had to go because she was expecting a delivery person to come to the office, the complaint says. Goncalves told her she didn't have to go and pulled her back to him, the complaint says.

He continued to grope her and moved his hands beneath her sweater, the complaint says. She twice more tried to pull away from him, the complaint said. Goncalves pulled her onto his lap, said to be quiet because "somebody will hear you" and told her to lock the door, the complaint says.

She again mentioned the delivery person and tried to get up again. Goncalves again pulled her back onto his lap, and continued fondling her body, the complaint says.

She finally pulled away, stood up, said she was married and held up her finger to show Goncalves her wedding ring. Goncalves said he was under the impression "it was over," and she turned to walk out of his office, according to the complaint.

.....Oh.

Don’t take government money and sign a contract with incredibly specific clauses if you have no intention of following them.

This is the exact same as if I stopped paying the mortgage and they repo my house.

This is 100% a play for foreign interference

Hopefully it's 50% with workers controlling the other 50.

Pay walled
