[PRCo] Re: Steeler Stuff In Cleveland

[Herb Brannon]

Hmm, lets see now. 1250 employees, 50 hourly and 50 salary (office not
plant) that leaves probably 1000 in the plant. Sounds pretty strong to me by
today's standards. Arcelor-Mittal wishes they had never sold the Scranton
Road Mill to the developers who built Steelyard Commons shopping center.
They could now use the production facility.
