Nippon Steel Denied Layoffs, Plant Closures Due to U.S. Steel Acquisition

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): In a statement released yesterday on the company’s proposed acquisition of integrated steelmaker, United States Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel), Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel denied possibilities of potential layoffs or plant closures on account of the deal. It must be noted that Nippon Steel has proposed acquisition of the U.S. steelmaker in a $14.9 billion acquisition deal.

This comes amidst political concerns raised by President Biden and fears of potential impacts on workers raised by unions. Biden had stated that it is vital for U.S. Steel to remain as an American company that is domestically owned and operated. Furthermore, he had warned that the proposed deal required “serious scrutiny”. The United Steelworkers (USW) too had expressed their strong protest over selling out the employees to a foreign entity.

Initially, Nippon Steel indicated that there won’t be layoffs or plant closures before September 2026. Later, it reissued the statement, clarifying that the deal would not result in any layoffs or closures.

In addition, the Japanese company committed that an additional investment of approximately $1.4 billion will be made in U.S. Steel at the close of the transaction, thus boosting the current CBA by over 140%.
