Multinational conglomerate Tata is set to shut the Port Talbot steelworks earlier than first announced over strike plans. The company has said it will bring the final closure date to 7 July, from September, as Unite members at the steel plant were due to strike on 8 July. One of the steel blast furnaces is to close at the end of this month in a push to reduce carbon emissions at what is the UK's single largest source of CO2.
'In the coming days, if we cannot be certain that we are able to continue to safely operate our assets in a stable fashion through the period of strike action, we will not have any choice but to pause or stop heavy end operations on the Port Talbot site.
