GMB Trade Union - British Steel Network Rail deal 'crucial first step

GMB Union has responded the £500 million deal between British Steel and Network Rail, announced today [Tuesday]

Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Officer, said:

"When British Steel was in crisis a few months ago, one of GMB's key asks to the Chancellor was to ensure Britain's railways were built with domestic steel.

"This is a crucial first step in securing the future of our steel industry.

"Ministers must now ensure other infrastructure projects follow suit to make sure British Steel has a constant flow of orders."
