GMB Union has responded to an announcement by the Prime Minister today [Monday] that British Steel will be nationalised.
Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Secretary, said:
“Unions have long known Jingye will not negotiate in good faith.
“This legislation will cover the whole steel industry - it isn’t specifically for British Steel but it is what will protect it from foreign owners.
“British Steel is a nationally strategic asset, it is right the Government does everything in its power to secure its long term future.
“GMB welcomes this decisive and timely intervention by the Government which will protect one of the UK’s most important industries.”
