Workers are protesting against Tata Steel's plans to cut 2,800 jobs
About 1,500 Tata Steel workers will begin an indefinite strike next month over the company’s plans to cut thousands of jobs, the trade union Unite has said.
The strike action is the first time in more than 40 years that steel workers in the UK have taken strike action, the union added.
About 2,800 Tata Steel workers will lose their jobs when the company closes both blast furnaces in Port Talbot by the end of September.
The strike action will take place at Port Talbot and Tata's Llanwern site in Newport.
