 Corus is shedding 1,150 UK jobs |
Two Yorkshire MPs say there is a "more co-operative mood" at the Anglo-Dutch steel company Corus which recently announced job losses. Helen Jackson from Sheffield Hillsborough and Ian Cawsey from Brigg and Goole were among four MPs who have been to visit the Corus plant at Ijmuiden in the Netherlands.
There they met Corus's new chief executive Phillipe Varin and the new chairman Jim Leng.
After the meeting, Mrs Jackson said: "We believe we are in a new era with a new leadership committed to a more open and confident approach.
"Hopefully our visit heralds a new beginning in the way senior managers, workplace representatives and parliamentarians work together."
In April, Corus announced that is cutting 1,150 jobs in the UK with around 700 going at its South Yorkshire plants in Rotherham and Stocksbridge.
