Can't remember who said it unfortunately, but I heard the other day that the average earner (those on 30k ish) should be on £6k more a year if wages had truly kept pace with inflation since 2010. That's £500 a month more, maybe £400-ish net. Obviously that figure could be scaled up or down in relation to higher or lower wages, but how many folk would be lifted out of hardship by that money now?
 
I work for Wolverhampton Council and yesterday received an email from Unison saying that the pay award on offer if £1925 increase on all scales plus an extra day of leave from 2023. Unison say they are due to meet on 29th July to discuss their next actions but I think this is an acceptable offer and unlike recent years, an increase we would actually notice in our take home pay

Sounds like the union is doing its job there.

Thats what happens when the Union and management unite and talk rather than maintain a ludicrous "we can't afford anything and will not speak to you" stance
 
The average take home pay is £1778 per month now in the UK. The average property rental is now £1,113 per month. The average utility bill is £258. The average Council Tax is £151. So, without food, clothes, insurance, transport, childcare or any leisure spend, the average UK resident is left with £256 per month.

I understand that business needs to make a profit but we do need a rethink, surely.

What really makes you laugh after over 200 hours a month graft to earn that if you are lucky I might add, bosses try and tell you with a straight face that you are earning good money!
 
Tidied this up now, but let's keep the discussion civil and respectful please.
