Tata Steel’s plans to cut 2,800 jobs are “devastating” for the UK steel industry, a union has said.
The Community union said the plan was “beyond belief” and its members would now consider their options.
Indian-owned Tata confirmed on Friday that 2,500 of the lost jobs would go within the next 18 months.

Unions told the BBC most of the 2,500 jobs losses were expected to be in Port Talbot.
An additional 300 job losses could occur in Llanwern, Newport, in three years’ time, Tata added.
“Tata’s announcement today is unacceptable,” said Community general secretary Roy Rickhuss.
“The decision to plough ahead with the bad deal for steel first announced in September would be devastating for Port Talbot and the wider steel industry.”
