Wages recovery reaching too few people, says TUC

Responding to new analysis published by XpertHR of recent data on pay awards, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“It is good to see some signs of better pay awards for some in the private sector, but public sector workers continue to suffer from cuts to their living standards – and millions are still excluded from economic recovery.

“The bigger economic problem remains. The UK has become an economy good at creating poorly paid, low-productivity, insecure jobs but this is no basis for a successful economy for the long term.”
