Wages won't increase to meet rise in cost of living

Paul Salt

Available for over a year

Last week it was confirmed that our energy bills are set to rise by an average of around 700 pounds a year. But it doesn't seem like wages are rising to match the increasing cost of living. New research from the TUC found that nearly a third of the 2 thousand workers surveyed don't expect their earnings to increase at all. Jay McKenna is Regional Secretary for TUC in the North West.
