The supposed 'high-wage economy' promised by the Prime Minister is further away than ever
GMB has commented on today's ONS figures that show real wages falling.
Gary Smith, GMB General Secretary, said:
“Working people across the country are suffering a triple whammy – fuel prices soaring, the cost of living increasing, and real wages down too.
"With huge energy price rises coming, it's going to get even worse.
"Employers and the government must wake up - workers deserve a proper pay rise and GMB is organising and campaigning to deliver it."
