Sault Ste. Marie's Tenaris Algoma Tubes, Canada's only seamless steel tube maker, is taking another two-week shutdown starting Feb. 1. affecting 450 employees.
Declining oil and natural gas drilling and a light order book has hurt the company. In addition, unionized production workers have rejected a company worksharing proposal.
It is the second temporary shutdown in two months when the west-end mill was idled for two weeks during the Christmas holidays.
