Port Talbot

Around 1,500 Tata Steel workers in Port Talbot and Llanwern in Wales will begin an "all-out indefinite strike action" from July 8 to protest the company's "disastrous plans" to cut 2,800 jobs and close its blast furnaces.

The 200-year-old reservoir site is spread across three acres. It has a 900-metre public footpath for entry on the west side of the reservoir.

Tata Steel said on Friday it could close its major plant at Port Talbot in Wales unless it receives British government aid of 1.5 billion pounds ($1.8 billion) to help decarbonise production.

Mr Drakeford said the Welsh government had been in talks with Tata Steel and it was clear the Port Talbot site, the UK's largest steelworks, is important to all parties.

Tata Steel Ltd's Europe unit said today that a fire broke out at its Port Talbot site in South Wales but there are no major injuries and the fire is now under control.

A new work by enigmatic street artist Banksy has got visitors flocking to the back of a car garage in Port Talbot, causing quite a stir in the South Wales steel town.

Banksy fans are flocking to the Welsh town of Port Talbot to see a new mural by the elusive British street artist depicting a child covered in snow that is in fact ash from a burning bin.

Tata wants to close employees' debt laden pension scheme and replace it with a defined contribution scheme.

Tata Steel UK's future depends upon a solution for the14-billion-pound British Steel Pension Scheme, the liabilitiesof which it took on when it acquired Corus.

Tata Steel is exploring a joint venture with Germany's ThyssenKrupp and one of the options would have meant job losses at the plant employing around 4,000 as a result of shutting down of one of two blast furnaces on the site.

Central to the plan is retention of Port Talbot's two blast furnaces, which turn iron ore and coke into molten iron.

Tata Steel and Thyssenkrupp are looking at reducing the size of Britain's largest steel plant in Port Talbot, Wales, industry sources said, as the two firms press ahead with plans to merge their European steel operations and deal with the overcapacity afflicting the industry.

Tata Steel officials told analysts that there were no concerns about the group's steel business stemming from the exit of former chairman Cyrus Mistry as boss of Tata Sons.

Britain's June 23 vote to leave the European Union, which prompted Tata to say it would also consider a joint venture, has only increased the uncertainty.

Port Talbot and its down-stream businesses are believed to be back in profit but a long-term period of sustained profitability is required for any real turnaround.
