Protests are taking place in Newport and Port Talbot - where major Tata sites are based.
Hundreds of people have taken to the streets to protest at the proposed loss of thousands of steel jobs.
A protest is being held in Port Talbot, while workers from the Llanwern site have marched in Newport city centre. This is not just full felt in Port Talbot, but also in south east Wales, as his counterpart in Llanwern Reg Gutteridge explained. "I went into the steel industry straight from school, it's all I've ever known, it's my livelihood," said Jason Wyatt, an electrical engineer and Unite union representative at Port Talbot., he said morale among workers was "very low", describing proposals as the "decimation of our industry and by connection the decimation of the community".
"We believe we have a very exciting future ahead, providing the high quality, low-CO2 steels that our customers in the UK and overseas are so desperate for." Describing the steel industry as "the beating heart of our economy and community", he said: "The deal that's been done is not the right one because it doesn't work in terms of decarbonisation.
