Wood challenges Labour to back under-threat Tata steel
PLAID CYMRU leader Leanne Wood called for the part-nationalisation of Welsh steelworks yesterday to save more than 1,000 jobs.
Ms Wood’s intervention came after reports that Tata Steel will tell hundreds of workers at the Port Talbot and Llanwern works this week that they will lose their jobs.
In the latest blow to Britain’s beleaguered steel sector, about 700 steelworkers will be made redundant, along with 300 support staff, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
