Unite union general secretary Sharon Graham said the steel industry had been decimated.
She said it needed investment, job guarantees and procurement legislation that “all UK infrastructure projects should use UK steel”.
“We need to back British steel, we need to back British business – investment is going to be key,” she told the BBC.
Tata Steel UK head Rajesh Nair said he was looking forward to working with the UK government on growing green steel production.
“We will be engaging with new ministers over our ambitious plans to invest in and transform Port Talbot with electric arc furnace steelmaking, and to support our workers through this necessary but difficult transition,” he said earlier this week.
