FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Thyssenkrupp workers on Thursday urged management to solve outstanding issues in talks with Tata Steel to create a European joint venture, cautioning that a good deal was better than a rushed job.

“There are still a number of unresolved issues until a possible signing,” Tekin Nasikkol, chairman of Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe’s works council and member of Thyssenkrupp AG’s supervisory board, said in a statement.

“We expect all parties to focus on diligence rather than speed in fixing the problems.”
