GMB has responded to reports Tata will close blast furnaces next week,
Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Officer, said:
“This is a sad day for steel.
“Tata must step back from this irreversible decision and safeguard steelmaking assets.
“There’s a general election in days that could change so much.
“We know there is a future for steelmaking in South Wales. That future must be preserved.
“GMB’s next actions will be decided by our members.
