California Legislators Urge U.S. Steel to Find a Buyer for UPI Mill

A group of California members of Congress is calling on U.S. Steel to keep its USS-UPI steel mill in Pittsburg, Calif., open by finding a buyer for the operations.

The steelmaker informed key stakeholders in 2022 of its plans to close the mill at the end of this year. It reiterated its plans for the mill’s closure in filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission at the end of October. WARN notices were filed with the state at the end of September.
