Tata Steel prepares to lay off 1,000 workers from its Scantrop plant

Up to a thousand jobs could be lost at Tata Steel in Scantrop, UK. This was reported in the publication "The Telegraph".

"Tata Steel is preparing to announce a new wave of layoffs in the UK ahead of the metallurgical summit," the publication said.

Tata Steel will begin cost optimization in Scotrop next week, promising that most of the laid-off workers will receive new jobs at the company's Scotland operations.

Recall that today an emergency anti-crisis summit has been announced with the participation of representatives of the UK government, industry managers and trade union leaders.

The subject of discussion will be the closure of the largest metallurgical plant Redcar in Teesside and the plight of the industry in the UK as a whole.

Let's remind that today the Liberty Steel steel plant in Newport will unexpectedly resume work. This enterprise was mothballed 2 years ago. According to Sanjeev Gupta, Managing Director of Liberty Steel, the plant will begin rolling Russian and Brazilian slabs into hot rolled steel coils.
