Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of Community, said: “Tata talks the talk and wants to be seen as a caring responsible employer, but the reality is they are determined to cut jobs and punish their most vulnerable employees who want job security.”
He said the union would consult its members on their next steps.
Tata Steel said it had paused discussions with the unions without coming to an agreement.
“Following seven months of information sharing and consultation, last week we confirmed that we will be proceeding with our restructuring plans and a £1.25billion investment in green steelmaking to secure over 5000 jobs in Tata Steel UK. This week we have continued our open and constructive discussions with Trades Union partners through the UK Steel Committee.
“Our focus remains on creating a sustainable steel industry in the UK that supports manufacturing supply chains and steel communities through a just transition to low CO2 steelmaking,” a company spokesperson added.
