WORKERS at Tata Steel’s Port Talbot plant took their campaign to save jobs to Westminster today, where they staged a rally and listened to an opposition day debate on the industry’s future.

The Indian transnational company announced last week that it would close both blast furnaces at the plant, causing the loss of 2,800 jobs, and replace them with a new electric arc furnace.

Tata ignored trade union proposals to save the production of primary steel in Britain by keeping one of the blast furnaces open.
