Unite's reaction to the latest employment figures
15 October 2008
Unite joint general secretary, Derek Simpson said, "The Government has a role to play in increasing public spending, creating jobs and generating confidence. Government intervention should not just stop with the banks. Action across the wider economy is necessary to protect jobs and the economy in a recession. Thatcher buried Keynesian economics and the current crisis shows just how wrong she was. It's time to resurrect John Maynard Keynes and kick-start the economy."
