CONGRESS delegates condemned Tata Steel’s “bad deal for steel” today.

Moving an emergency motion on the future of Port Talbot, Community’s Barry Evans, who has worked at the plant for 30 years, slammed Tata for having turned its back on plans unions have put forward to preserve jobs, showing “an unforgiveable and blatant disregard for steelworkers, their families and their communities.”

The Indian multinational plans to shut Port Talbot’s two blast furnaces and build an electric arc furnace, at a cost of 2,800 jobs directly and many more in the supply chain.
