Ensure Welsh steel workers have a seat at the table

Responding to the news that nationalisation of Liberty Steel is one of the options being considered to save jobs, Plaid Cymru Member of Senedd for South Wales East, Delyth Jewell said,

“Amid the discussions of the future and fortunes of Liberty Steel are the employees, caught in the middle, and who are desperately seeking reassurance that their governments are doing everything in their power to secure their jobs. For the near 200 workers in Wales, it’s imperative that the Welsh Government acts quickly and ensures that no stone is left unturned in the effort to save jobs in this key industrial sector.

“The only secure and sustainable future for Welsh steel plants in the long run is to return the ownership of the Welsh steel industry to Welsh hands – and ensuring that our workers and their communities have a seat at the table.”
