Another Corus worker is killed

An inquest into the death of ISTC community union member Francis Coles, a maintenance engineer killed at the Corus tin plate works in Llanelli, Wales was opened and then adjourned earlier this month. Corus hit the headlines in 2001 when three men were killed and 12 injured in an explosion at the nearby Port Talbot plant. The company has also just been fined £300,000 for serious safety breaches at its Llanwern plant that left a worker disabled.
