Inflation is up. Find out what the TUC has to say about it.

Commenting on today’s (Wednesday) figures showing a rise in CPI inflation from 2.5% to 2.7%, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

The pay squeeze is tightening again, but the government is doing nothing to get wages rising faster.

“The minimum wage should be put up to £10 an hour as quickly as possible. And we need a National Investment Bank to target communities that are most in need of new industry and better jobs.

“Unions are fighting hard to get workers better pay, but we need new rights to enter workplaces and negotiate with employers for fair pay rises.”
