GMB Trade Union - EU steel tariffs 'hammer blow'

GMB Union has responded to EU steel tariffs, announced today [Tuesday]

Responding to reports of new EU tariffs on steel, Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Officer, said:

“These tariffs are a hammer blow to UK steel industry as EU is our main export market.

“The Government must act swiftly to ensure UK is given the appropriate quotas.

“This could be the end of steel making in UK if proper safeguards aren’t secured.”
