MEMBERS of the Unite union will join fuel poverty and pensioner groups in protesting at 40 locations across Britain today as part of a nationwide campaign of action over a barrage of bill rises coming into effect.

Further demonstrations are planned over the following two weeks as part of the Unite Energy 4 All campaign, calling for the eradication of fuel poverty and national control of this country’s energy resources.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “It’s time to end the chaos in our energy network, which allows profiteers to flourish while workers and communities are left in the cold.”
