Commenting on today’s (Wednesday) inflation figures, which show CPI at 8.7% and RPI at 11.4% in April, TUC General Secretary, Paul Nowak said:
“Prices are still rising much faster than wages. And families cannot restore their lost living standards without stronger wage growth.
“But Rishi Sunak does not have a plan to get wages rising. And he wants to sack workers who use their right to strike to get a fair pay deal.
“We all want inflation to fall faster. But working families are also suffering from this government's failure to get wages growing. This needs to change too.”
