Commenting on a report published today (Monday) by the Treasury, which warns that Brexit would result in the loss of 500,000 jobs and trigger a year long recession, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:
“The forecast from the Treasury gives us half a million good reasons to stay in the EU. Job loss can be devastating, especially if you have to look for work in the middle of a recession. It’s too big a risk for working people to take.”
