It is calling for the Indian steel major to halt its plans until the July 4 General Election, when it expects the UK's Conservative Party led government will make way for the Opposition Labour Party. "Tata's disastrous deal with the current government would only see its other overseas operations take advantage of the coming boom in green steel at the expense of South Wales," said Unite general secretary Sharon Graham. "Now that we will have a new government in July, Tata can no longer ignore Labour's call to wait for the GBP 3 billion UK Steel Investment Fund, a commitment secured by Unite," she said. Tata Steel said it was "naturally disappointed" with the move and reiterated its concerns around the ballot procedure. "We have written to Unite Union twice during the ballot process, and again this week, to notify them of significant irregularities in the ballot process they have undertaken. We will continue to review and consider our legal next steps," said a Tata Steel spokesperson.
