More job cuts in store for Granite City steel workers

Madison County's unemployment numbers will continue to rise in the New Year.

Amsted Rail, formerly known as American Steel Foundries, plans to lay off another 363 workers at its Granite City steel mill in February. The company filed a notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity in December detailing the layoffs.
