Workers at the UK’s largest steelworks face a “year of uncertainty”, according to a long-term employee.
Alun Hughes, 60, from Llangennech in Carmarthenshire, said he feared for his job at Tata Steel in Port Talbot, where he has been a welder for 15 years.
A restructure of Wales’ largest carbon emitter with 3,000 jobs losses was announced in November.

Unions proposed a plan with fewer redundancies while respecting the aim for lower carbon emissions, but Tata has not made a formal announcement on the future of a site where steel has been made since 1902.
Mr Hughes told Newyddion S4C he felt job losses were “almost certain”.
“If you want to create steel of a good standard in a way that’s less polluting, that’s going to affect the workforce,” he said.
“Less people will be needed to make that clean steel. So there will be redundancies. How many? I’m not sure.”
