Notices are expected to be issued sometime this week and layoffs will be implemented in mid-February, according to Michael Yeats, a senior vice president with Evraz North America. He says cheap imports are to blame for the layoffs.
More than 100 Evraz employees will be laid off from Regina's steel mill in February, according to the company.
The Russian steel and mining company Evraz PLC has announced it plans to sell its North American assets, which include a steel plant in Regina.
Evraz has laid off 170 employees at the steel mill in Regina since the beginning of May after choosing to idle its large diameter pipe production in the city, according to a statement from the company.
A senior vice-president within Evraz North America confirmed the layoffs to CBC News, and said outside of the company's large pipe operations, business is strong.
