GMB Trade Union - Carbon and Growth energy plan 'must deliver good jobs'

GMB has responded to the Government's Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery Plan.

Andy Prendergast, GMB National Secretary, said: 

“Delivering good jobs must be the number one mission of all governments. 

"If this plan delivers good, secure jobs and tackles climate change, it can only be a good thing. 

“The last Conservative Government threatened to ban gas boilers - changing this unworkable position is welcome.

"Further consultation on bringing down electric costs for industry is vital. Too many key manufacturing firms are struggling: a huge problem for growth and international competitiveness. 

“We look forward to seeing more action on this in the upcoming Budget.”
