CEO commits to meet with concerned faculty from Algoma University about environmental issues
In an internal communiqué about environmental issues, Algoma Steel chief executive officer Michael Garcia is warning all employees to strictly follow standard operating procedures.
"Meeting production targets is important, but never at the expense of safety or the environment," Garcia cautions in a document titled "message to all employees re: environmental performance" distributed on Friday. His memorandum, obtained by SooToday, contains many of the same points made by Garcia in an open letter to the community also released Friday, but adds paragraphs specifically directed to mill workers.
Both documents were issued after almost 40 Algoma University faculty members signed a letter stating that "chronically high emissions of carcinogens and harmful pollutants released by the Algoma Steel into the environment mill are unacceptable."Further information is currently being added to this SooToday article.
