Fair Pay Fortnight

This year’s Fair Pay Fortnight will take place between 16 February and 1 March.

Co-ordinated by the Trades Union Congress, the fortnight is set to highlight tje cost of living crises hitting ordinary people.

Working people in the UK are seeing their living standards squeezed harder and harder every year. The cost of energy, food and housing is soaring but wages are not keeping up.

The TUC says people have lost over £4,000 since 2009 and while jobs may be returning to the economy they are increasingly low paid, low hours and low security.
