Jacqueline Thomas is a green rep and a union learning rep for Community Union at Tata Steel in Llanwern South Wales where she has worked for 15 years. Having grown up in a coal and steel mining town in the 1980s Jacqueline witnessed the impact of mine closures on local communities, which led to the loss of well-paid jobs and entire towns struggling. Now, as one of the few women reps in the industry, is campaigning across Tata Steel sites for a just transition in the UK steel industry.
