STEEL unions released their alternative plan for Tata Steel’s Port Talbot plant yesterday, seeking to save thousands of jobs.

The Community and GMB unions claim that their plan for the company’s British arm is designed to secure a just transition for the workforce and to safeguard the future of steel-making at Port Talbot.

The multi-union plan was endorsed by Community, GMB and Unite and presented to Tata Steel on November 17 — but Unite decided to withdraw its support of the plan a day later.
