"Gas-intensive industries in the UK have been shamefully ignored by the Government in this announcement, it's a total disgrace. Workers in manufacturing companies across the UK need urgent help; this isn't it."
"Members working in the nation's world-famous ceramics sector, along with those producing the bricks that underpin Britain's construction supply chain, were sickened at the lack of support on offer."
The GMB union has condemned the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme for failing to support gas-intensive industries, which are vital to the UK's manufacturing sector. General Secretary Gary Smith stated that workers in the ceramics and brickmaking industries feel abandoned by the government. He emphasized the urgent need for assistance, criticizing the scheme as inadequate. The high energy costs and climate levies have placed these manufacturers at a disadvantage compared to their European counterparts, exacerbating longstanding issues within the industry.
