Unite has called on the chancellor to put manufacturing "at the heart of the Budget" when he unveils his plans for the rescue of the UK economy in the bdget on Wednesday.
Unite, says that despite the government must not "shy away from continuing to invest in the future through effective economic stimulus packages. It would be a catastrophic mistake to reign in investment," said Derek Simpson.
Derek Simpson added: "Unions and employers are united in calling for Wednesday's Budget to contain measures to support manufacturing jobs through this recession.
"If these jobs go, they will not come back; supporting these workers is investing in Britain's future."
Specifically Unite is calling for "speedier access to credit from the banks to ensure immediate support for manufacturing business" and government support to manufacturing businesses "in keeping with the levels of assistance provided… by our overseas competitors".
