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.

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