Tata Steel, India’s largest steel producer, has announced the inevitability of job losses affecting 2,500 workers in the UK as part of the company’s transition towards greener steelmaking practices. This decision has sparked criticism and ongoing protests from workers’ unions. Tata Steel, which employs around 8,000 people in the UK, aims to switch from blast furnace operations to electric arc furnace technology to reduce carbon emissions. CEO T V Narendran emphasized that the transition, supported by UK government aid, will enhance the company’s competitiveness and contribute to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. Despite these benefits, job losses remain a significant concern for unions.
