Tata Steel Uk Workers Strike

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.

Tata Steel is believed to be close to striking a deal with the UK government to keep its British steelworks rather than sell it off, which would secure the future of 11,000 workers, UK media reports said on Friday.

The threat of the first major strike in Britain in nearly three decades seems to have been averted as Tata Steel UK's workers are expected to sign a new deal to end a pensions row.

Members of four trade unions are also refusing to work overtime before the 24-hour complete strike action on June 22.

A fourth trade union at Tata Steel UK has voted for strike action, setting the scene for the biggest labour dispute in the British steel industry in three decades after three unions backed a strike last week.

British workers at Tata Steel UK voted on Friday to go on strike, a trade union said, giving approval for the biggest labour action in the British steel sector in three decades.
