In response to today’s (14 August) latest GDP figures, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:

“As GDP growth slows again, it is clear the chancellor’s fiscal rules are shackling the economy. Workers can’t wait forever for investment in our public services and industry. We need real improvements in wages and living standards now.”
