Corus Sale Update

Corus announcement is a great boost for the region

Commenting on the purchase of the Corus plant in Teeside Derek Simpson, Unite Joint General Secretary, said: “Corus workers fought tooth and nail for the chance of a future. We ask that the Government now ensures that every assistance is given to see that this purchase is smooth and that jobs and skills are retained for the North-east.”

Terry Pye, national officer of Unite the Union, said: “Last year this site was pronounced dead but thanks to the intervention, and determination of the workforce and their unions to find a buyer this steel plant has been brought back to life.”
