Management of the ArcelorMittal has announced it is closing down its Schifflange steel site. The 47 workers will be reassigned to other plants, as will running orders. Unions have said they are afraid hundreds of jobs will go if the site is abandoned and plan to present a report on the viability of the site during a steel tripartite meeting on 26 October 2012.
