General Secretary Michael J. Leahy visits Dalzell
General Secretary Michael J. Leahy OBE has visited the Dalzell Corus works Scotland o meet with members and management. The visit comes in the wake of a new £8 million investment in a new plant and presses at the Corus works in Dalzell, Lanarkshire.
Community Union General Secretary Michael J. Leahy OBE said:
"Too often we see employers sweating their existing assets rather than investing for the future. Community is delighted that Corus is investing in Dalzell's future. The potential for new permanent employment is encouraging but it will also give our members working on site today renewed confidence about the years ahead.
"Community believes that Scottish and UK steelmaking is vital to our nation's economy and can also play a key role in moves towards a low carbon economy. Corus Dalzell is already a supplier to the renewable energy industry and with this investment that essential work should continue."
