Debt advice to help "pick up the pieces" following public sector job losses
Debt advice to help "pick up the pieces" following public sector job losses
- Thursday, 13 August 2009The public service trade union UNISON has suggested that
debt advice will help return the public sector to good health following recent jobs losses.
According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics this week, national unemployment reached 2.4 million people - its highest rate since 1995.
A significant proportion of the job losses occurred in the public sector and with a number of experts suggesting unemployment could continue through to the end of 2010, UNISON has said that those in position of power must act in order to counter the trend.
Dave Prentis, UNISON general secretary, said: "It is now time for company chiefs to see what they can do to create real jobs and give people hope for the future."
UNISON recently suggested that certain local governments lacked the "political will needed" to help their communities through the recession.
