Hundreds of Tata Steel workers have held a protest march as the threat of job losses looms over thousands of their colleagues.
About 400 people marched along Aberavon seafront in Port Talbot on Saturday morning as uncertainty swirls around the future of the town’s steelworks.
Paul Taylor, 42, who has worked at Tata for 24 years, said the impact would be “terrible” if jobs were lost or the plant - the UK’s biggest steelworks - is closed.
Joined at the protest by his wife, Melanie, and their two children, he said “lives will be lost” because of the mental health impact and uncertainty.
He said he believed Tata postponed its statement to wait for a report filed on Friday by business specialist Syndex, which has been commissioned to scrutinise the firm’s plans.
Mr Davies said Tata’s plans “would decimate this area and annihilate all the local businesses because they wouldn’t have money to spend”.
