Typical of this Conservative govenment, they are too late to the game. They should have been out in front of this before the idling not doing 'PR' to make themselves look tough after the fact.
If they were out in front of it they could have said to US Steel; "You'll need to find those layoffs at another facility, in another country, because we have this agreement you signed which we intend to enforce to the letter of the law....".
Anyways, $10,000 a day in fines seems to me like less money then they'd lose producing steel with no market in which to sell.
