GMB
Part of the Nuclear Workers Campaign that is campaigning for a new generation of nuclear power plants. For example on 29 March 2006, GMB members from the Nuclear Workers' Campaign (NWC) lobbyed parliament on Wednesday "hoping to persuade MPs, the Prime Minister and his Cabinet that nuclear power is a necessary part of a secure and balanced energy policy for Britain".
The lobby was called "Nuclear Power - The Right Answer" and sought support for for new nuclear power stations in the UK. Gary Smith, GMB National Officer, said "GMB is campaigning for a new generation of nuclear power stations on existing sites. This will improve the UK's security of energy supply and preserve our nuclear technology industry. It should also maintain existing jobs and in the longer term create new ones. However, GMB believes it is vital that expenditure on the new nuclear programme is not at the expense of investment in other equally important energy sources. The current level of investment in renewables, biofuels and micro generation must be maintained." [1]
