<p>The Transport Salaried Staffs Association, which represents workers at the company, said the Government should be ready to assist with “real financial support”.</p>
<p>General Secretary Manuel Cortes called for an urgent meeting with the UK&#8217;s Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">TSSA General Secretary <a href="https://twitter.com/Manuel_TSSA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Manuel_TSSA</a> has today written to the Business Secretary, Andrea Leadsom, demanding &#39;an urgent meeting&#39; about the rescue of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ThomasCook?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ThomasCook</a>.<a href="https://t.co/Io7pUh0klE">https://t.co/Io7pUh0klE</a> <a href="https://t.co/hOj4QUes8m">pic.twitter.com/hOj4QUes8m</a></p>

<p>He said in a letter: <em>“It is incumbent upon the Government to act if required and save this iconic cornerstone of the British high street and the thousands of jobs that go with it.</em></p>
<p><em>“Thomas Cook can be a highly successful business and must be given every opportunity to flourish. I urge you to stand ready to assist Thomas Cook with real financial support.</em></p>
<p><em>“The company must be rescued no matter what. No British Government in its right mind would countenance the loss of so many jobs and the prospect of just one major travel operator – TUI – controlling the mass market.”</em></p>
<p>It is understood that Thomas Cook has approached the Government in an attempt to plug a gap in its funding.</p>
<p>The travel company could fall into administration within days unless it finds £200m in extra funds.</p>
<p>A collapse would leave 150,000 UK holidaymakers stranded.</p>
