TUC: Energy costs will push firms to the brink

FIRMS will be “pushed to the brink” unless the Government takes action to cut energy costs, a senior union leader is warning.

- 

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said jobs were on the line because firms paid more for their electricity than their international competitors.

He will tell the GMB union's annual conference in Brighton that good, unionised jobs could be created across the country if “punitive” energy costs were cut.
