GMB has been calling for urgent action to cut energy bills for the sector.
GMB Union, representing thousands of workers across the UK ceramic sector, has today welcomed the news that the Government's Industrial Strategy will include support for energy intensive industry.
Chris Hoofe, GMB Organiser, said:
"This is a vital step to safeguarding our potteries and the tens of thousands of jobs they sustain.
"Pottery workers are looking to Westminster to defend their livelihoods and after 14 year of missed opportunities under the Conservatives, we are finally seeing action from Government.
"But the devil is in the detail and keeping the kilns lit in Stoke is a challenge for today, not for 24 months time".
