STEEL union officials from Teesside say a meeting with Corus managers went 'very well.'
Monday's meeting was the latest stage in the unions' battle to save jobs, after the Anglo Dutch company announced plans to shed more than 1,100 jobs at its plant at Redcar.
Last month, members of the multi-union steel committee on Teesside met senior Corus managers in London and presented their case for keeping the coil plate mill open. The move will save 124 jobs and retain a fully operational plant in Teesside.
Unions' spokesman Mick Mannion was pleased with this week's six-hour meeting and said: "I honestly believe it will make a difference to the final outcome."
