Commenting on today’s (Tuesday) inflation figures, which show CPI rising to 2.9%,

TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“The cost of living squeeze continues, with rising inflation outpacing wages.

“The government needs to get a grip and get pay rising across the economy. A good start would be to scrap the pay cap for all public sector workers.

“Our dedicated public servants are a team. A pick and mix approach, that rewards some and not others, would be cynical and plain unfair.”
