I spoke to a young steelworker who was part of the crew that worked on the shutdown process.

"The whole plant is shut down. From my understanding everybody but people in my department got sent home. I work on the furnace. We had to be there to work on it for the shutdown process. Even RG in Warren Ohio is shut down. Things aren't looking good. We're hoping to have a ten week layoff at the most. ugh, I worked last night and wanted to cry as I'm 200 feet in the air shutting down the furnace. It's just depressing."
