The press release issued by the TUC on 12 December 2022.

Commenting on today’s (Monday) GDP data, which shows that quarterly GDP fell by 0.3% in the three months to October, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“With quarterly GDP falling, ministers should step in to stop a damaging recession and job losses.
