They criticize the Prime Minister for not safeguarding steel jobs and call for collaboration with unions to protect the sector.
There is a better deal for steel. One that isn’t bound by Tory choices. I was proud to stand with steelworkers in Newport & Port Talbot, they know that with me, they have someone who understands the industry and the value of what they do. @GMBWSW @CommunityUnion @unitetheunion https://t.co/705rBJ6TL8
"The Prime Minister is failing to protect our steel industry because he failed to place a red line on protecting jobs". Thank you @CPJElmore for standing up for steelworkers in PMQs today and for urging the PM to work with unions to protect our industry and jobs. https://t.co/KPGVmmcoRK
Last weekend I stood in solidarity with steelworkers in Newport. Today I brought their fight to Parliament and raised the vital importance of the steel industry to Newport and Wales as a whole. Watch my full speech from Westminster Hall 👇 https://t.co/fkJPT95m7q https://t.co/XkLSKWRKhM
General election is an opportunity to replace Tory neglect with Labour's active industrial strategy & our £3bn commitment to Steel. I urge Tata to walk back from cliff edge & choose the bridge - a bridge to profitability, a committed workforce, & a competitve UK steel industry. https://t.co/HOQsLxV463
