Responding to news that Unite steelworkers have voted to strike over job losses at Tata Steel in Port Talbot, Paul Davies MS, Shadow Minister for Economy, said:
“Steelworkers in Port Talbot are understandably very concerned about their futures, and our thoughts are with them.
“The Welsh Conservatives are proud that the UK Conservative Government has stepped up to put over half a billion pounds on the table to save steel jobs in Port Talbot.
“It’s time for the Labour Welsh Government, which hasn’t put a penny on the table in years, to scrap the pet projects and support our steelworkers instead.”
Tom Giffard MS and Altaf Hussain MS, Senedd Members for South Wales West, added:
“This is clearly a very difficult time for the communities in and around Port Talbot and everything must be done to support everyone impacted.”
