Port Talbot steelworkers 'nervous' over Tata verdict

Port Talbot steelworkers say there are nerves but still hope Tata bosses in Mumbai will agree to a survival plan.

Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock has joined Community union officials in Mumbai to lobby the board, amid worries the plant could be mothballed.

In January, the plan to cut 1,000 jobs - 750 at Port Talbot - was announced.

Barry Evans, a Community union official and steelworker for 20 years, said the plant's future was now at the mercy of executives in India but the industry needed help from UK and Welsh governments.
