Unite welcomes vote of confidence for Britain's car industry
18th March 2010
Welcoming Nissan's £420 million investment in electric cars,
safeguarding jobs in Sunderland and Ford's planned £1.5 billion
investment in cleaner engines, Derek Simpson, Unite joint general
secretary, said: “This is a huge vote of confidence for British
manufacturing.
“It secures thousands of skilled jobs and puts Britain at the
heart of a greener future for the automotive industry. The
government's financial support for both Ford and Nissan's
initiative is proof that Labour is prepared to act to support jobs
and green manufacturing. Tory policy on British manufacturing is to
do nothing."
