The Government has no solutions for working people:
- wages are not keeping pace with inflation now at its highest in THIRTY YEARS,
- many public sector workers on low pay are struggling with energy bills that have been hiked by 54%,
- National Insurance is UP,
- food prices are UP, and
- in the sixth wealthiest economy in the world, working people, the elderly and the most vulnerable in our society are having to choose between heating and eating.
Enough is enough, something must change, as families across the country are bearing the brunt of the cost-of-living storm.
We need to send a strong clear message to the Government that “We Demand Better” and the Government must listen to working people that have kept this country going over the last two years, working in the NHS, Education, and other vital public sector frontline services. Every worker needs a real pay rise in 2022 and they need it now, especially with energy bills set to increase again in October.
