‘Body blow’ to steel workers as British Steel plans to axe 400 jobs
Labour criticises the Tory government's failure to support the industry

BRITISH Steel’s plans to cut jobs in Britain are another “body blow” to steel workers, trade unions and Labour said yesterday.

The company, which employs 4,000 workers in Britain, said it would be cutting 400 managerial, professional and administrative roles across its global workforce to secure a “sustainable future.”

British Steel executive chairman Roland Junck claimed the company was “sad to be making this announcement, particularly for our colleagues who could be affected.”
