GMB Trade Union - Steel Nationalisation 'latest decisive intervention from Govt'

GMB Union says the Steel Industry Nationalisation Bill, due to get Royal Assent today, is the latest decisive intervention by the Government to save the sector.

Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Secretary, said:

“The Government has taken timely, decisive intervention on British Steel - as it has throughout this process.

“It’s no exaggeration to say Ministers have saved the UK steel industry.

“But the hard work to keep it alive starts here; beginning with a commitment to public infrastructure projects to buy British.

“GMB also demands a worker voice in the new nationalised company, so those who rely on the business will be in the boardroom and it will never be solely at the whim of foreign enterprise.
