Commenting on the rise in the jobless total to over 2 million, Dave Prentis, General Secretary of UNISON, the UK’S largest public service union, said:
“A huge number of people have to swallow the bitter pill of unemployment while Fred Godwin and his cronies, who are directly responsible for this rise in the jobless figures, are still living the good life.
“These are individual tragedies but they need an international solution. World leaders gathering for the G20 summit must take action to protect and create jobs and end this misery.”
