GMB Trade Union - Fat cat bosses' pay passes average worker already

FTSE 100 BOSSES PAY PASSES AVERAGE WORKER TODAY, EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT VITAL - GMB

GMB Union has responded to research by the High Pay Centre showing FTSE 100 bosses' pay will today [Tuesday] surpass that of an average worker.

Andy Prendergast, GMB National Secretary, said:

"Workers are still struggling with the cost of living crisis - and wages are only just starting to grow again.

"But fat cats are still creaming it in. That’s why the Employment Rights Act is so crucial: to give workers a level playing field to get the pay they deserve."
