European Unions Call On ArcelorMittal Workers To Strike Dec 7

European labor unions assembled under the umbrella of the
European Metalworkers' Federation are calling for workers and
sub-contractors at steel titan ArcelorMittal (MT) to take part in
strikes, work stoppages and demonstrations on Dec. 7.
EMF "are calling on all workers employed by ArcelorMittal and
its subcontractors to join them in a European solidarity Action Day
in protest against the plant closures, restructuring plans and job
cuts which threaten the long-term viability of Europe's leading
steelmaker," the federation said in a statement posted on its
website late Monday.
ArcelorMittal last month announced plans to permanently close
two blast furnaces in Liege, Belgium and has also said it would
temporarily idle production capacity at some of its steel plants in
Germany, Poland, and Spain due to weaker-than-expected steel demand
as end steel consumers take a more cautious approach to purchasing
steel, given fears that the European sovereign debt crisis may
cause the euro zone to slip into a recession.
