Unite the Union plans industrial action for 1,500 Tata Steel workers in Wales, starting June 18, over job cuts linked to closing old blast furnaces. The union demands a halt until after the July 4 General Election, hoping a new Labour government will offer a £3 billion investment fund for green steel. Tata Steel, facing significant losses, aims to transition to Electric Arc Furnaces with a £1.25 billion investment to ensure future sustainability and reduce CO2 emissions. Tata expressed disappointment with the strike and raised concerns about the union’s ballot process.
