Save the car industry campaign
Unite is calling on the government to support UK manufacturing and the UK car sector.
The case for helping Britain's car industry is straight-forward. It is by-and-large profitable with strong product. But the industry is on the ropes because of market collapse, particularly for the sort of high-value vehicles produced by Jaguar and Land Rover, but that demand will recover when the world economy moves forward once more. And when it does, Britain needs to have its iconic brands in place to respond.
That means keeping factories open and our skilled workforce in employment. Anything else means that the demand will be met from other countries and at least 70,000 manufacturing jobs will be gone for good. Find out more about Unite's car industry campaign.
