AM and MP: Tata job cuts follow 'root and branch review'

In a joint statement, Hywel Francis MP and David Rees AM say they have been briefed by the Tata Hub Director for Strip Products over job losses at the Port Talbot steelworks.

We have been informed that these redundancies are proposed following the first root and branch review of the plant for many years.

We were assured that the usual process of consultation will be undertaken and key issues of long term sustainability of the plant and safety will be paramount.

We wish to place on record our continued faith in steel making at Port Talbot and we urge government at local, Welsh and UK level to work with Tata and the unions to achieve this.’
