Looks like up to 800 job losses to be announced, 600 at Port Talbot, a devastating blow for the area, let's just hope Tata keep the faith and see these rough times through | |

Trostre has been 'over paying' by 30% on what they get from PT, I think they take around 10 - 15% of PT 's output. Imujden in Holland, owned by Tata can supply all Trostre's needs. If PT was nationalised, they immediately lose this customer. There should be 40k people and families across the uk immediately voting to leave Europe in June. May be a case of cutting your nose off regarding financial sector jobs but I can be a spiteful c*nt. One thing for sure, the steel industry is finished in uk if we remain in Europe. | |

I'm a deferred member of the British steel pension scheme and the pension scheme news brief I received last week claimed the scheme to be well funded compared to most uk pension schemes. 85% funded I think it said, audited by KMPG. Well funded to the degree that it wouldn't fall under the government scheme if the company folded.
The main worry here should be Tata trying to avoid their liabilities from redundancy payments | |

So if we stay in we'll save the arses of those who dropped this country in the sh*t and got bailed out by the government, so they could victimize the disabled?
In that case "so long, farewell, auf wiedersehn and goodbye " Europa!!!!! | |

He'd use Electric Arc to make steel out of scrap, but it will be at the expense of most of the heavy end because there'll be no need of the coke and other commodities that are used now, the steel produced will also have less uses than the steel made there now, but anything is better than full closure.
Think there will need to be a large investment in modernising the Hot Mill as well so that it could run on Natural Gas, like Trostre and Llanwern, not really sure though, just going on what I've been told. [Post edited 3 Apr 2016 22:22]

Heard a while ago that the heavy end was most at risk. | |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

The general opinion is that the Heavy End could go, could be a massive mistake though, as Port Talbot will then be battling for business with Shotton, Trostre and Llanwern then. | |

I think by hock or crock the steel works will be saved.
It is too massive a deal for the government to leave go also leaving the uk vulnerable | | | |

"The only solution is to pay workers in the Steel industry a low wage, with no unions to barter their wages up - and arrest those workers who have the nerve to protest for rights - and to ignore environmental policies and keep on polluting because it's cheaper - just like China does!"
The shape of things to come... | |

Depressing eh? How about the American 266% surcharge way? Also how about a EU contract clause about workers rights and pay and conditions. If China is mistreating, exploiting or underpaying their workforce then they can do one.
Simplistic I know but we need to look at how other countries protect their industries and adopt best practice. Allowing the free market to run its course just to attract future Chinese investment is folly I would say. | |

Especially when we're paying through the nose for it anyway. Governments attempted to kill the uk solar PV industry and offers huge subsidies to the Chinese to finance nuclear for us. Successive governments worried about the next term when they should all agree over long term. | |

To effect meaningful, lasting change a new Movement will have to arise. The Westminster parties remain wedded to "The Market" with Globalisation as an end in itself. That the road toward that end is littered with broken industries and shattered lives seems to matter not a jot. National Parliaments have become reduced to domestic press offices for International Finance.
I'm not saying anything here that everybody doesn't already know . | |

There does seem to be a wave of nationalism reverbarating around Europe at the moment. The reason is no doubt the issue you are highlighting there and the direct and indirect consequences of it. I wonder what will come of it. | |

That stirring is the one thing that provides any hope for the future. The challenge is to ensure it develops along healthy, Pan-European lines and doesn't stumble once more into the cul-de-sac of the too narrow Nationalisms of the past. [Post edited 4 Apr 2016 13:44]

Here's to hoping, the closing statements from the article resonate with me, being said generation:
"The enfeebled Labour party is unable to press the points home and the Tory party remains transfixed by anti-state, laissez-faire nihilism. I mix rage with sadness for the next generation, and the inheritance it has been left." | |
