British steel workers protest outside of the Houses of Parliament in London
British steel workers protest outside of the Houses of Parliament in London, Britain October 28, 2015. Britain promised on Wednesday to refund the cost of so-called green taxes which push up energy costs for steel manufacturers and other energy-intensive industries, pending approval from the European Union. This month over 4,000 British steel jobs have been lost or are at risk due to a combination of weak prices and high costs, pushing the issue up the political agenda and prompting demands from the industry for more government support.
