Tata Steel UK plans to cut 2,800 jobs as part of a restructuring process, primarily in Port Talbot where the second blast furnace is set to shut down. Over 2,000 employees have shown interest in voluntary redundancy, with the company providing a favorable package for those affected. Tata Steel aims to transition towards electric arc furnace technology, with government funding discussions ongoing, to enhance production sustainability and reduce emissions.
