Marvin Ryder discusses U.S. Steel

To talk more about U.S. Steel’s filing for bankruptcy protection, Marvin Ryder is joining us tonight to talk more about that angle.

In the court filing, U.S. Steel Canada said it would explore restructuring solutions including potentially a sales process to solicit interest in purchasing all or part of its Canadian business.

Marvin, even though a sale is just a possibility at this point — would U.S. Steel even look at a sale option?

Many have believed for a long time that the company has always wanted to close Hamilton Works down to eliminate a competitor. But if a sale sign goes up, who are the potential buyers?

Will Canada’s free trade deal with the European Union open up more buyer possibilities for U.S. Steel in Hamilton and Nanticoke?

What does U.S. Steel Hamilton Works mean to Hamilton? We know its not as big as it once was, but is it an essential business for the city?
