Community Union brokers Teesside steel talks


Corus and Consortium to resume talks

 

Community Union, which represents the majority of workers at the threatened TCP steel plant, have made a significant break through with Corus and the consortium of off-takers in getting them back round the table to discuss commercial options that could save the plant.

 

General Secretary Michael J Leahy said:

 

“It’s taken a lot of conversations between Community Union, the highest levels of Government, Tata, Corus and the Consortium but we finally have agreement that the two parties will sit down to try and find a solution that could save the future of Teesside steelmaking. 

 

“We are pressing for Corus and the Consortium to set a date as soon as possible.  We do not know if their meeting will be a party or a wake but the most important point is that all sides enter discussions mindful of the thousands of jobs and the community on Teesside that are depending on a deal.”
