Responding to the latest Office of National Statistics (ONS) figures on earnings and employment, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:

“As real wages slow again, we have to remember that growth and profits doesn’t always equal jobs and wages. This country needs a joined-up industrial strategy and ambitious public investment to escape the never-ending cost of living crisis.”
