One of the largest unions representing Tata Steel employees in the UK has said it will be looking for reassurances from Ratan Tata, the new interim Chair of Tata Sons.
“Unite will be seeking guarantees about their jobs and pensions from Tata’s new interim chairman, who needs to act to bring certainty to the steelmaking business along with the promise that Tata will continue to act as a responsible employer,” said Unite national officer Harish Patel. “Steelworkers at Tata UK are world class and have been making some of the best steel in the world against a backdrop of continued uncertainty.”
Tata Steel is engaged in talks with ThyssenKrupp over the potential merger of its main strip steel business.
