Save Steel Buy British – new campaign
Community union and British Steel call for businesses to back UK-made steel.
Urging the use of British-made steel in major national infrastructure projects, the drive aims to secure the future of sovereign steelmaking and safeguard skilled jobs.
The move follows government intervention to support British Steel, and now union members and the company are seeing a promise from the government to use UK-made steel in vital national projects.
Alasdair McDiarmid, Community Assistant General Secretary, says, ‘With a range of major national infrastructure projects on the horizon over the years ahead, it is absolutely imperative that we seize opportunities to maximise the procurement of British-made steel. Now is the time for government and businesses across the country to give our steel industry the vote of confidence it needs and deserves.’
