U.S. Steel Clairton Coke Works will shut down three batteries this month, fulfilling a 2021 commitment to reduce emissions. The company will begin to shut down three of its most productive batteries — 1, 2 and 3 — on March 27. The action will affect around 125 workers, according to United Steelworkers Local 1557 President Don Furko. “It’s sad to see it go,” Furko said. “I worked on those batteries years ago. But the positive thing is that there won’t be layoffs — no one’s getting put out on the street.”
