Unite's reaction to the latest unemployment figures
17 June 2009
Unite's joint general secretary, Derek Simpson said:
"Unemployment is still unacceptably high. The increase is less than
expected but unemployment has still risen to a 12 year high, so
this is no time for complacency. Working families' jobs and homes
are under threat.
"Labour acted decisively to bail out the banks and avoided a
depression. But the government must still do more to support
British industry, particularly manufacturing. The Tories would have
let the banks go to the wall and the recession would have lasted
until doomsday."
