Thousands are expected to march in London today to demand government action on standstill wages and the soaring cost of living.
The TUC We Demand Better rally comes as its analysis reveals working people lost nearly £20,000 in real earnings between 2008 and 2021 as a result of pay not keeping pace with inflation.
And the union body says the pay slump shows little sign of slowing, with real wages now worth £66 a month less than in 2008 and set to fall this year by more than £500.
