LOCAL newspaper editors joined forces this morning to present union officials from Corus with a dossier of information to help in the fight to keep steel jobs on Teesside.
Chris Lloyd, assistant editor at The Northern Echo, was joined by Paul Robertson, editor of The Evening Gazette, in presenting a dossier of stories collected by the two papers over the steel crisis.
Also included were thousands of coupons from both papers voicing the support of the community in the fight to stop Corus axing more than 1,100 jobs on Teesside.
Tomorrow afternoon, union officials from the Teesside works at Redcar and Lackenby will meet with senior Corus managers to present a rescue package which they hope will save the jobs. The dossier will be used as supporting evidence of the strength of feeling the Teesside community has for the steel industry, which has been an integral part of Teesside life for 160 years.
