Government must stop cost of living squeeze, says TUC

Commenting on figures published by the ONS today (Tuesday) which show that inflation is continuing to outstrip wage growth TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“The government must stop this cost of living squeeze. Many working people are caught in a vice as rising prices crush their pay.

“Ministers claim they are listening to struggling families. But now is the time to prove it. Britain needs a pay rise across the public and private sector.”
