Workers from Unite have called off their strike action at Tata Steel, allowing crucial talks to proceed regarding the future of the company's site in South Wales.

Last week, Tata Steel threatened to close its two blast furnaces at Port Talbot ahead of schedule if the strike went ahead, citing safety concerns.

This closure is part of a government-backed plan to transition to greener production methods, potentially resulting in up to 2,800 job losses.

The breakthrough came after Jonathan Reynolds, shadow business secretary, intervened multiple times, urging Unite to halt the action and pave the way for constructive negotiations.
