Port Talbot steel workers 'worried for the future'

A deal to change Tata's pension scheme has proved harder to sell to staff than was expected, BBC Wales understands.

Steel workers at Port Talbot have expressed concerns over the agreement between the company and unions to accept a less generous pension in return for future investment on site.

Unions will not make a recommendation to their members on whether to accept or reject the proposal.

Tata is consulting staff on moving to the new scheme, calling it essential.

Steel worker David Edwards, who has worked at the Port Talbot plant for 11 years, said employees were "worried for the future".
