Government must take action to restore fairness to pay, says TUC

Commenting on today’s (Thursday) publication of High Pay Centre analysis, which shows that this year FTSE100 CEOs will have already earned the annual average wage by 2pm today, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:

“Everyone deserves a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. But while working people are told not to ask for more, top pay is soaring.

“We need government action to bring back some fairness on pay. Workers should have seats on executive pay committees to bring some common sense to top pay. And ministers must set our plans for fair pay for everyone, starting by agreeing to pay negotiations in the public sector.”
