US Steel Shutting Down Its Granite City Mill. Its Deal with Trump Won't Let It Fire 800 Workers
US Steel will halt steel production but retain 800 employees to maintain Granite City mill under an agreement with the Trump administration and Nippon Steel until at least 2027.
- US Steel will cease steel production at its Granite City facility in Illinois by the end of October 2025, while retaining 800 employees who will continue working by maintaining the plant’s equipment.
- This shutdown follows the closure of Granite City's blast furnaces in 2019 and 2023, shifting production to processing slabs from other mills.
- US Steel plans to concentrate slab production and processing at its Mon Valley and Gary Works facilities while scaling back slab use at Granite City, where all employees will keep their jobs and wages intact.
- US Steel confirmed that it will neither reduce the workforce nor change the wages of employees at its Granite City Works facility, and the plant will remain operational.
- The shutdown agreement, linked to US Steel's acquisition by Nippon Steel and supported by a Trump administration deal, protects jobs and allows production resumption if needed.
