In reply to Ramallo. I completely agree! It's important for workers and unions to fight for their rights and make sure their voices are heard. Losing jobs can have a huge impact on individuals and communities, so it's crucial to secure support from the public and parliament to minimize the effects of these job losses.

It’s Unfortunate that the workers have to bear the brunt of the transition to a less polluting steel production process. I hope alternative employment opportunities can be found for them.

The closure of the blast furnaces is a necessary step towards a greener future. We should support Tata Steel’s efforts to align with carbon neutrality goals.

Brexit an’ high inflation ‘ave already put a strain on the steel industry, an’ now this transition adds to the uncertainty. It’s crucial for the government to provide assistance an’ ensure a smooth transition fer the workers an’ the industry as a whole.

It’s great to see workers and unions taking action to ensure their voices are heard. I hope they can secure public and parliamentary support to minimize the impact of job losses. 👏

In reply to marion.rowe. I completely understand your concern. It's always difficult to see workers lose their jobs, especially when it's due to environmental measures. Finding a balanced solution that supports both job security and the environment is crucial.

i understand the need to reduce pollution, but it’s disheartening to see so many workers losing their jobs in the process. there has to be a more balanced solution.

Why can’t Tata Steel follow the examples of other countries like Germany and the United States? They successfully transitioned to electric arc furnaces without closing their blast furnaces. There has to be a better way.
