GMB Union has responded to a preferred bidder being chosen to buy Liberty Steel.
Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Secretary, said:
"This is welcome news and we look forward to engaging with the interested parties on behalf of our members.
"Any sale of SSUK must include due diligence which guarantees ongoing operations and stability of the sites.
"GMB members have been at the sharp end of years of uncertainty at this point - his needs to be a deal that secures the long-term future steelmaking in South Yorkshire."
