The recession is far from over for employment as the recent large scale job losses show

17 February 2010

Those who now advocate austerity for public spending are the very people who brought the economy to its knees

GMB commented on the unemployment figures released today.

Paul Kenny GMB general secretary said "The recession is far from over for employment as the recent large scale job losses at Shop Direct, Corus Teeside and Birmingham City Council show. It will be a long hard slog to emerge from this bankers recession.

How to support economic recovery will be a central election issue. Those who now advocate austerity for public spending are the very people who brought the economy to its knees. This would make things far worse."
