    Iron Rangers oppose corporate plan to hire replacements Workday Minnesota
    CHISHOLM — A hastily-called rally at the Iron Man monument drew more than 800 people in the first show of solidarity against Cleveland Cliffs' decision to hire replacement workers at four mines if contract talks break down with the United Steelworkers of America.

    Over a dozen speakers pounded the company for an hour and a half Friday with a message to the company of "Don't do that here" and to the scabs being trained to take their jobs, "Get the hell out!"

    Cleveland Cliffs has run newspaper ads and sent letters to workers telling them they will hire scabs.
