Community Union: Job losses are 'not a surprise'
Alan Coombs, Chair of the Multi Unions committee at Tata Steel Port Talbot says it's clear the steel industry is suffering following the announcement that 400 jobs will be lost at the site.
He said:
"We need the help and we need the support now. The steel industry is suffering particularly bad and we do need the help now not in two or three years time."
Mr Coombs added:
"We understand the business has got to move forward but we've got to be in a place where we can compete and we can do it safely."
"There's going to be a strain on the workforce left behind and that's also a concern."
He said the Unions will be challenging the number of job losses.
