Commenting on the latest developments at Tata Steel, including an end to planned strike action, Samuel Kurtz MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Economy and Energy said:
“We welcome any discussions that bring both the steelworkers and Tata to the table to iron out how best jobs can be supported in the short term, as an early closure of the blast furnaces will bring additional distress to communities already dealing with enough as it is.
“The Welsh Labour government have only paid lip service to Tata’s workforce, failing to contribute a penny to the transition board, and UK Labour’s manifesto says nothing on what it would do differently to support Port Talbot’s steelworkers.”
