GMB Trade Union - Record breaking wind farm auction 'must deliver real jobs'

GMB union has said a record-breaking windfarm auction announced today [Wednesday] must deliver real jobs. 

Andy Prendergast, GMB National Secretary, said:

“This is obviously good news; securing significant investment in clean power is what we need to hit net zero.

“But the real litmus test will be if it delivers the jobs so often promised and so often fail to materialise.

“This is a golden opportunity to on-shore supply chains and create genuine employment opportunities across the UK.

“It's imperative that we take it.”
