Angela Eagle MP, Shadow First Secretary of State and Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, commenting on the TUC’s report on the EU referendum said:

“Britain’s membership of the EU is vital for wages, jobs and rights at work too.

“As this important report shows, leaving the EU would hit working people hard, prolonging the squeeze on wages. It would also be a devastating blow to our manufacturing sector, which depends on access to the largest single market in the world.

“The EU is good for businesses and good for working people too. That’s why Labour is campaigning hard to remain.”
