JERSEY’S unions have today united to launch an unprecedented attack on States plans to increase taxes and make sweeping cuts to public services.
In the first major move against the controversial plans, the unions have joined together for the first time to issue a set of alternative proposals to Treasury Minister Philip Ozouf.
The unions, led by the Unite union, claim that plans to increase personal tax and cut public services are ‘ill thought through’ and will target the Island’s most vulnerable residents.
