TATA steelworkers have overwhelmingly backed industrial action
The ballot ended with 83 per cent of workers backing action short of strike, and 72 per cent backing strike action.
Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Officer:
“TATA threatened workers with worse redundancy terms if they dared to fight for their livelihoods. These brave workers have said clearly – they won’t go down quietly.
“We will now be discussing next steps with our members, reps and sister unions.
“Whilst Tata seem determined to douse the heat of our blast furnaces, the fire burns within our members hearts. They’ll fight to the last to protect their industry.''
