Tata Steel's Corus to cut up to 3,500 jobs: report

Steelmaker Corus is poised to axe up to 3,500 jobs next week, The Sunday Times reported.

The precise number of lay-offs at the Anglo/Dutch steelmaker, owned by India's Tata Steel, were being thrashed out over the weekend, according to the paper.

The job cuts are part of a long-term restructuring drawn up by outgoing chief executive Philippe Varin, but it has been accelerated by the crisis in the global steel industry, the paper said.
