Union warns 5,000 gas jobs could go

A LEADING union yesterday accused British Gas of planning to axe up to 5,000 jobs, hitting sites across the UK. The GMB said it had seen internal company correspondence detailing cuts of 25 per cent in non-customer- facing staff as well as losses in other parts of the business.

The union said recently announced restructuring at British Gas was expected to lead to job cuts, but not on such a scale.
