Following consultation with members, both directly and through their representatives in Usdaw, the union has developed policy suggestions to improve the lives of working people covering the following key areas: Inflation uptick shows that the cost of living crisis is nowhere near over says Usdaw 17 January 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw continues to call on the Government to address the longstanding and continuing cost of living crisis, after today’s inflation figures show that prices are rising at double the 2% target rate. The Retail Prices Index (RPI) rate dipped slightly to 5.2%, while the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rate rose to 4%. National Insurance change is too little too late says Usdaw – this is just another Tory tax con 05 January 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has condemned the Government’s desperate attempt to grab headlines in the hope that voters will forget nearly fourteen years of austerity, their crashing of the economy and the biggest cost of living crisis in more than a generation. The union laments the failure to tackle insecure and low paid employment that blights too many workers’ lives. Continuing high energy bills and food prices show the Government must do more to help with the cost of living crisis says Usdaw 02 January 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has again called on the Government to intervene further in tackling the cost of living crisis, which is severely impacting low-paid workers, after the cap on unit prices of household energy rose by 5%. New Year message from Paddy Lillis – Usdaw General Secretary 01 January 2024 Retail trade union leader Paddy Lillis has sent out New Year wishes and committed Usdaw to campaigning for a new deal on pay and rights to help workers struggling to make ends meet in a cost of living crisis. The Union will also continue to push for protections for workers from violence, threats and abuse, while calling for a general election to put the country back on track under a Labour Government. Prices still rising at double the target rate – Usdaw calls for a new deal for workers to tackle the cost of living crisis 20 December 2023 Retail trade union Usdaw is calling for the Government to address the longstanding cost of living crisis, after today’s inflation figures show that prices are rising at almost double the Government’s 2% target rate The Retail Prices Index (RPI) rate dipped to 5.3%, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) rate eased to 3.9%. Four years of chaos and crisis have hit workers hard, we need a Labour Government says Usdaw 12 December 2023 Retail trade union Usdaw is marking the fourth anniversary of the 2019 General Election with a call for the whole nightmare to end and for the people to be given a chance to vote for change. The union welcomes the positive vision for the country set out by Keir Starmer, showing that Labour is ready to deliver a government that will serve working people. IKEA’s ongoing commitment to be a Living Wage employer is welcomed, Usdaw continues their call for a new deal for workers 05 December 2023 Retail trade union Usdaw has welcomed IKEA’s continuing commitment to being a Living Wage employer, ensuring staff will be paid at least £13.15 an hour in London and £12 in the rest of the country from January. The union has been campaigning for a minimum wage of at least £12 per hour now for workers of all ages, as a step towards £15 per hour. Autumn Statement: The Chancellor’s attempt at a ‘give away’ budget is too little too late says Usdaw 22 November 2023 Retail trade union Usdaw has condemned the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement as a desperate attempt to grab headlines in the hope that voters will forget thirteen years of austerity, their crashing of the economy and the biggest cost of living crisis in more than a generation. Chancellor is deluded when he says the minimum wage increase will ‘end low pay’ says Usdaw 21 November 2023 Retail trade union Usdaw is disappointed that low-paid workers will not receive a genuine living wage. Today’s increase in the so-called National Living Wage to £11.44 an hour doesn’t meet Usdaw’s call for at least £12 per hour immediately or the real living wage rates of £12 across the UK and £13.15 in London.
