Last night TATA Steel announced plans to cut 3,000 jobs across its European operation.
Mike Payne, GMB Senior Organiser for GMB Wales and South West said:
“This is disappointing news. Right now we’re demanding reassurances from TATA that these Europe-wide cuts won’t affect our members in Port Talbot.
“We understand the global challenges affecting the Steel Industry, but any loss of jobs could be a threat not only to the families affected, but also to the wider community.
“This uncertainty and constant threat of job losses drains confidence from the whole workforce.”
