Steel tariffs 'important', say Brussels-bound workers

About 50 steelworkers from Wales are heading to Belgium to call for the European Union to act to save the industry.

Port Talbot was dealt a huge blow last month when Tata Steel said 750 jobs would go in the town plant as part of 1,050 cuts UK-wide.

The plant, which employs 4,000 workers, is the biggest steel plant in Britain in terms of workforce and output, but is understood to be losing £1m a day.

Barrie Evans is one of those making the trip.
