Yahoo News Government Announce Support For Steel Workers
The government has announced a £80m support package for workers who have been made redundant as a result of the mothballing of the Redcar SSI plant.
The money will provide training for the workers, and also enable other local businesses to grow and create jobs.
In a statement announcing the initiative Business Secretary Sajid Javid said: “This is an extremely difficult time for the workforce at SSI and the local community.
"The package we are announcing today will provide important support to workers and the local economy.
"Across government we will continue to focus on providing assistance where we can.”
