They aren’t responsible for employing workers they no longer require. They’re doing this to become more cost efficient and also less polluting.
Their offer seems reasonable considering the circumstances, forking out £130mil for redundancies, or offering a training program.
It’s up to the workers on what they want to do next.
Edit: getting downvoted. Wonder how many of these people downvoting are paying £40,000 a year out of their own pocket to someone else they don’t need?)
All of it seems kinda fair? Specially with a retraining program?
What is Tata supposed to do? The business needs are changing.
Or do the unions what another government funding round and destroy our currency/economy further?
does that mean £46000 average redundancy payment per person?
The thieving parasites Tata have taken millions of taxpayer money; and still get to screw over their workers.
Corporate welfare payments need to stop. Those scroungers are wealthy enough.
Plenty of people angry at Tata about this, and possibly rightly so, but let’s not forget that every major political party in the UK is hellbent on net zero, decarbonisation etc etc. and it’s killing our industries and economy.
Steel will still be made, just not here. We’re offshoring our carbon emissions and offshoring our guilt, pretending to save the planet. Absolute madness.
