'Thousandsmay lose jobs as cost of energy soars'
THE leader of one of Wales' biggest trade unions has warned the "lights could go out" and employers be forced to shed thousands of jobs because of a mounting energy crisis.
The head of the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU) in Wales, Andy Richards, said Welsh firms must be protected from wholesale energy prices that have risen by up to 100% since January of last year.
Mr Richards says businesses from Ford, in Bridgend, to Anglesey Aluminium, in North Wales, have expressed concerns about spiralling energy costs.
Business leaders from some of North Wales' largest employers like Airbus and Synthite Ltd will meet Mr Richards and the leaders of Amicus at an energy summit today.
