Unite’s reaction to CBI leader’s warning to the government on economic growth

Responding to Sir Richard Lambert, the outgoing leader of the CBI, who has today (24 January) accused the Tory led coalition of failing to come up with policies that support economic growth, Len McCluskey, Unite general secretary-elect said:

“It’s not often that Unite and the CBI find common ground in criticising the Government. Sir Richard Lambert’s views are a major wake-up call for David Cameron and George Osborne, the medicine they’re feeding the patient will kill not cure.

“Now that even the CBI are warning that the coalition’s policies are ruinous, it’s time to end the experiment by this out-of-touch elite and start generating jobs and economic growth.”
