Jude Brimble, GMB National Secretary, said:
“Any plan to rescue our energy intensive industries must come with strings to protect jobs, terms and conditions in the long term.
“Funding must also keep these industries here - not offshore them to the rest of the world.
“Manufacturing in steel, glass, ceramics and cement are vital to our long-term economic future – they are our future.
“GMB members need guarantees their jobs are safe. Government departments duelling with the Treasury over taxpayers’ money and a PM that sticks his out of office on every time there’s a whiff of a crisis does not give them much reassurance.
