BRITAIN’S steel industry faces even more chaos after “bully boy” Tata Steel bosses said they would speed up thousands of redundancies in the face of industrial action by workers, Unite warned today.

The union accused Tata chief executive officer Rajesh Nair of threatening to cut redundancy payments and to challenge the legality of its ballot.

Unite members are to begin an overtime ban on June 18 at steelworks at Port Talbot and Llanwern in Wales.
