BREAKING 🚨: Two week strike action starts at one of UK's largest frozen food facilities 🪧 We could have Christmas turkey shortages if bosses don't improve the ZERO % pay offer 🦃

Today’s budget is the final nail in the coffin for the Conservative’s failed austerity project. Key public services and essential infrastructure suffered because the Tories made bad economic choices - we must never go back to those dark days.

The minimum wage rise is fantastic news for millions of low-paid workers. It will lift people's pay and deliver more cash to spend on the high street. Wages not based on ages has long been our call: the higher increase for young workers is a crucial step forward.

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day women effectively stop earning compared to men. We fight inequality wherever we find it. That’s why GMB Union members have launched more than 25 equal pay claims at employers across the UK 👏

The government have said they can only afford 2.5% for NHS Pay. That's not good enough. Ministers must recognise the PRB is broken. They need to come to the table themselves - and deliver the decent pay that NHS workers deserve.
