To improve competitiveness of its UK business
Tata Steel UK, an indirect subsidiary of Tata Steel, has announced cost-saving proposals to improve the competitiveness of its UK business.The plans would lead to the loss of 1,050 jobs - 750 jobs at its Port Talbot-based Strip Products UK business, 200 jobs in support functions and a further 100 jobs at steel mills in Trostre, Corby and Hartlepool.
The proposed changes follow continued falls in the European steel price caused by a flood of cheap imports, particularly from China.
A full consultation process with employee representatives will begin immediately.
