Tata Steel's Decision Sparks Controversy
Tata Steel has announced an early shutdown of the coke ovens at its Port Talbot plant, a move that has been criticized by the union Community as a 'massive blow'.
Reason for Closure
The closure was attributed to a 'deterioration of operational stability' according to the steelmaker, which is owned by the Indian conglomerate Tata. This decision comes on the heels of the confirmation of blast furnace closures by the end of the year.
