Tomtom66 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 no thanks close all the factories down, whats the point subsidising companies that create steel that no one wants to buy, on the news last night china were making a loss of £24 a tonne, and thats for cheap steel so who is going to buy expensive steel. unfortunately many jobs will have to go but their is plenty of other work to go around and it would cut down pollution, i say close them all across the world and don't open them again until the steel is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other European countries are making an effort to protect their manufacturing industries and jobs , we choose not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martss Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If you close all the steelworks down wheres all the scrap steel that gets remelted going to go? You can't use the cheap steel for everything, certain industries need the high quality steel that Forgemasters produce, and they don't just make steel, it's what they are capable of turning it into that's important and needs protecting!

After all not many people work in the steel industry now. Of course closing the steel works down would mean, transport companies closing, small engineering firms that make things for the steel industry may close too, and maybe the other service industries like air con maintenance and a few other specialist services. I'm sure they could all find jobs at Meadowhall or somewhere similar, manning shops that nobody would be shopping in due to nobody having the decent salaries that the old out of date steel works and their partner companies used to provide. Then maybe we could close the technical colleges and universities as no one would need to get technical education then as all you would need to know would be to say, 'Do you want fries with that'?
