Tata Steel workers call first strikes in 40 years to halt devastating job losses
Workers from Tata's Port Talbot steelworks gather at College Green, in Westminster, London, January 23, 2024
TATA STEEL workers will go on an indefinite strike to save their communities from devastating plans to cut up to 2,800 jobs, Unite announced today.
Some 1,500 of its members based in Port Talbot and Llanwern, south Wales, will walk out on July 8 in the first British steelworkers strike in more than 40 years.
The Indian conglomerate announced the job cuts alongside plans to close blast furnaces to switch to a greener form of production earlier this year.
