Disappointing to see other unions showing how weak they are. 'You've had your doorstep applause, now get back to work and accept being poorer.' [Post edited 2 May 2023 14:58]

Don't forget, it's the 8% cut in real term wages for nurses since 2010 and 26% cut for junior doctors since 2008 that's driving inflation, or something. |  |

It's actually a much larger cut than that compared to the way wages were rising before the financial crash.

The graph is particularly telling and here are a couple of other snippets from the article.
"The Resolution Foundation calculated that had wages continued to grow as they were before the financial crash of 2008, the average worker would make £11,000 more per year than they do now, taking rising prices into account."
"It also found typical UK household incomes have fallen further behind those in Germany. In 2008, the gap was over £500 a year, now it is £4,000."
Austerity? Doncha just luv it. [Post edited 2 May 2023 15:24]
