After a year of economic turbulence, and a decade of pay stagnation, workers are once again being told that pay rises are unaffordable. This conference will examine the economic debates behind workers’ current demands, and set out an agenda for how to develop an economy for workers not wealth.
- What do the current state of the public finances mean for public services, pay rises and an economy for workers?
- Who are the winners and losers from the current pay crisis ?
- Breakout sessions on the building blocks for a workers’ economy, including minimum wages, industrial strategy and addressing personal debt.
- The international landscape for a workers’ economy.
- Why central bank policy matters for working people.
