:02:26. > :02:30.independent experts, that this is the only credible and viable way
:02:31. > :02:37.forward is to secure the future. The unions previously said they would
:02:38. > :02:40.leave the decision to Tata's 6000 steelworkers, but there was
:02:41. > :02:44.significant unhappiness about the proposal. The BBC understands there

:03:11. > :03:14.the advice of the union representatives and reject the
:03:15. > :03:17.offer. One former steelworkers says it's never going to be an easy
:03:18. > :03:20.decision. When he first started in the works,
:03:21. > :03:26.the conditions of employment will understood, that is what the pension
:03:27. > :03:29.scheme would be. To move the goalposts after they've worked
:03:30. > :03:34.there, that's what makes it difficult. It's not only the steel
:03:35. > :03:38.industry, but other companies. It's a difficult decision to move the
:03:39. > :03:42.goalposts after you had conditions. You knew what your future pension
:03:43. > :03:46.was going to be, and to change that is difficult.

:04:26. > :04:27.who are running these sessions, are now toughening-up their message
:04:28. > :04:32.about e-cigarettes too. The concern is they're

:05:07. > :05:12.traditional cigarettes, a 100% switch to vaping
