Commenting today (Tuesday) on the rise in inflation, UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis said: “With inflation at its highest level in six years, many public service workers are facing a bleak Christmas.
“With wages now lagging even further behind the cost of living, the government’s punishing pay cap is pushing families to the brink. It’s time that all public service workers received a decent pay rise that at least matches the rate of inflation.”
