GMB Trade Union - Predicted price cap rise shows folly of relying on overseas energy


GMB Union has warned the predicted energy price cap rise shows the folly of relying on overseas energy.

Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Secretary, said:

“Even with the Labour Government reducing average bills - the predicted price rises will hit people hard.

“It’s a stark reminder relying on non-domestic energy sources is sheer folly and leaves the UK brutally exposed to the whims of the market.”
