It’s Fair Pay Fortnight from 16 Feb to 1 March – two weeks of campaigns and activities from Britain’s unions aimed at tackling our growing pay crisis.
We’re coming out of a recession caused by greed and recklessness at the top of the banking industry. But whilst executive pay is booming again, for most Britons we’re still stuck in the longest living standards squeeze since Victorian times.
When wages are low consumers spend less; businesses can’t grow, the Exchequer gets less tax income and the deficit only grows further. We need a new plan for the economy that gets wages growing and keeps them growing.
