The following is a letter from V.P. of Cliffs David Blake to Michael Bolton, USW District 2 Director.
Subject: Empire Iron Mining Partnership/Tilden Mining COmpany L.C. WARN Notice
Dear Mr. Bolton:
As you are undoubtedly aware, the economic downturn in the United States has dramatically impacted the market for steel and iron ore. As a result of this downturn in demand, Empire Iron Mining Partnership, which is owned by subsidiaries of Arcelor Mittal and Cliffs Natural Resources, and supplies iron ore pellets to those companies for internal consumption and commercial sales, will be required to temporarily idle portions of their operations. At this time it is unclear how long the temporary idling may last, but it is likely to last beyond six months unless there would be an unanticipated upturn in demand for iron ore from Empire and/or Tilden Mine.
Due to this indefinate idling of portions of Empire's and Tilden's operations, hourly employees at each location will be laid off on or after January 10, 2009. The names of the affected employees at each location who are currently known and their current job titles are shown on the attached schedule **[the list hasn't been made public as of 4:15 pm 11-6-2008 ... Mike Gregory]**. Because of range wide bumping rights at Empire Mine and Tilden Mine, employees at each location are affected by reductions in force not only at their own mine but by reductions in force at the other mine. Reductions in force at each location will be made in compliance with the seniority provisions of the August 1, 2004 Basic Labor Agreement and Seniority and Posting Agreement, including any changes resulting from the recent September 1, 2008 Settlement Agreement. Benefits for employees laid off will be pursuant to the Basic Labor Agreement, Supplemental Unemployment Benefits Agreement, and Program of Insurance Benefits.
In the event additional information is needed by you regarding this notice **[contact information withheld]**
The information contained in this notice is based upon the information available to the Company as of the date of this notice. Should a material change in circumstances affect the scope, timing or duration of the planned idling of operations we will notify you accordingly.
David Blake
Vice President
