Layoffs at Essar Steel Algoma are going to be fewer than announced recently.

Presidents of United Steelworkers Locals 2724 and 2251 say new orders at Essar will reduce the number of layoffs, but the size of that reduction is so far unknown.

So far, no one in either union local has received layoff notices, the Sault Star is reporting.

Essar had announced earlier this month that it was planning to send out as many as 400 temporary layoff notices over the next few months.
