Good luck to them, every little helps, but the Steel Industry in Britain is finished as we know it.
Hubby has been with them man and boy..since it was actually British Steel.
he has been waiting for his firm to shut up shop for 6 months or so now, just a question of talks with Tata to get stuff ironed out.
He will leave work at the end of June. Thankfully he gets a decent redundancy package and he can also take a very early retirement, but the rest of the workforce, including his younger brother can't, it's these men and their families I feel for, on top of all the rest of firms going under it looks bleak on the job front for them.

Heartbreaking, so many gave been in the industry for most of their lives and are too young to retire but who will take them on

[Tata Steel has confirmed it is looking into selling its
entire UK steel operation, casting doubt over the future
of at least 15,000 steelworkers across the UK.]

I wondered who would buy it as well, unless they think the government will bail it out like the did the banks.....
