STEEL unions took their fight against job losses at Tata Steel’s Port Talbot plant to Parliament today as steelworkers protested in Westminster.

Tata Steel has said it would close both blast furnaces, with the loss of 2,800 jobs, and ignored trade union plans to save the production of primary steel in Britain instead of building a new electric arc furnace to recycle used steel.

The protest took place before the Welsh affairs select committee questioned company executives.
