GMB Trade Union - US-UK tariff deal 'welcome news'

GMB has responded to the US-UK tariff deal, announced today [Thursday]

Andy Prendergast, GMB National Secretary, said:

"It is difficult to judge the impact of the trade deal without seeing the small print, but action on tariffs from our exports to the US has to be welcome news.

“GMB members in the whisky and automotive sectors were being unjustly targeted, so progress here will be positively received, if the deal delivers what is suggested.

"We will look closely at what has been negotiated away to get the agreement and the effect on key industries.”
