Plea For Cash As Steel Jobs Hang In Balance
The UK's steel industry is urging the Government to announce urgent cash help as thousands of jobs hang in the balance on Teesside.
It remains unclear whether SSI UK, which suspended production at its Redcar operations last week, has the money to pay a reported wage bill of £5m on Friday as it struggles with the fallout from a collapse in steel prices.
Local MPs and union officials have accused SSI of presiding over a wall of silence since announcing the pause in production, which the company blamed on issues with the supply of materials.
There are fears it will enter administration without a deal to reorganise its finances or direct Government support.
SSI UK, which took over the steelworks in 2011, employs 2,000 staff directly with a further 1,000 contractors on site.
The Community Union said its members were understandably nervous about whether they would be paid - and blamed a lack of dialogue with SSI over the course of the week.
It is not the only steelmaker feeling the pressure - with the UK's biggest producer, Tata Steel, also reeling from the impact of weakening demand and cheap imports amid the economic slowdown in China and other emerging markets.
The company, which operates two UK blast furnaces at Scunthorpe and Port Talbot, warned in July that job losses - on top of thousands already made since 2007 - were possible.
The industry argues it has been made to be uncompetitive because of high energy costs and the UK tax regime.
The steelmakers want the Government to bring forward plans to compensate them for carbon permit costs and are also calling for lower business rates.
A conference in London today is due to discuss the crisis facing the industry.
The Government has said the level of support it can offer is limited because of EU state aid rules but that it had provided more than £47m in compensation for carbon pollution costs and taken action to limit cheap Chinese imports.
A Department for Business spokesperson said: The price of steel slab has almost halved over the past year.
Global overproduction remains a problem and currency fluctuations have added further pressures.
Whilst the Government cannot control these factors, where we can help, we have done,

The History of Fish and Chips HD
Sit back, relax and enjoy the epic story of fish and chips. Delving into a very personal family history, we journey to Billingsgate fish market, Lancashire and the offices of Winston Churchill. You'll laugh, you'll learn and you'll certainly feel hungry!
‘Captain Catch’s Silent Film Festival’ is a project funded by the Seafish Strategic Investment Fund and delivered by Beard Askew, which has engaged five classes of primary school pupils from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to educate them on important seafood industry topics.
The series of five silent films highlight a range of issues including safety at sea, seafood sustainability and the health benefits of eating fish. From the conception of ideas, to storyboarding and acting, the children have created a range of must-see short silent films which will entertain and inform all.
‘The History of Fish and Chips’ stars a cast from Stepps Primary School who hail from Stepps, Scotland.
