Unite's reaction to today's budget
24th March 2010
Unite joint general secretary, Derek Simpson, said: "The
starting whistle for the election has been blown and it's 1-0 to
Labour. The last budget before the election shows leadership and
responsibility during difficult times. Alistair Darling has focused
on support for the young, growth, investment and jobs when Tory
doom-mongers who spend their time talking Britain down would rather
slash and burn our public services and leave working families to
sink or swim.
"The establishment of a green investment bank is welcome, it
will support British manufacturing when the Tories don't even have
an industrial policy."
