Tata Seteel is cutting 1,050 jobs from its UK operations – 750 from its site in Port Talbot, 200 in support roles across the UK, and a further 100 from steel mills in Trostre, Corby and Hartlepool.
The plans are designed to save money and increase the competitiveness of the company in the UK. The cuts are the latest in a series in the UK by Tata, which blames the continued fall of the steel price in Europe, caused by “a flood of cheap imports”, largely from China, as well as high energy costs.
In July last year, the company cujt 720 jobs, most of these in Rotherham, while in October, it cut a futher 1,200, 900 of which were in Scunthorpe, with 270 across several plants in Scotland.
