Responding to Labour Party proposals to freeze energy bills, UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea said today (Monday):
“Millions of people are suffering financially and it’s going to get worse without emergency action.
“Families and households, particularly those on low wages, may never recover from disastrous energy hikes.
“Labour’s plans are a positive start to deal with the cost-of-living crisis, reduce bills and control inflation. They’re in stark contrast to the government’s inertia and failure to grasp the struggles of working people.”
