Extreme temperatures, both very hot and very cold, are a familiar problem for many workers. While there is a legally enforceable minimum workplace temperature, there is not a corresponding maximum enforceable temperature. Usdaw has welcomed a commitment from the Labour Party to modernise health and safety guidance on extreme temperatures to ensure safety at work. Cost of living crisis continues to bite hard despite slowing inflation rates – new Usdaw survey highlights the impact on workers 18 June 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has today released the results of its latest cost of living survey, which shows that three years of the Tories’ cost of living crisis have hit working people very hard and they continue to struggle to make ends meet. Keir Starmer’s pro-business, pro-worker manifesto will deliver the changes that Usdaw members desperately need 13 June 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has welcomed the launch of Labour’s manifesto, a fully costed and fully funded programme to bring back economic growth and deliver prosperity.

Real living wage and an end to rip-off youth rates – Usdaw gives evidence to the Low Pay Commission 11 June 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has provided written evidence to the Low Pay Commission (LPC) on minimum wage rates. The LPC’s annual call for evidence will help shape the recommendations they will make to the Government this autumn about the new minimum wage rates, which are expected to come into force on 1 April 2025. Labour’s new deal for working people will be transformational and end 14 years of Tory attacks says Usdaw 25 May 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has given full backing to Labour and their new deal for working people, which will end fourteen years of Tory attacks on workers and their trade unions.

Energy bills remain high despite a cap cut – three years of the cost of living crisis have been devastating says Usdaw 24 May 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has expressed disappointment that the Tories have failed to tackle a cost of living crisis that has severely impacted low-paid workers for three years. Inflation first went above the target rate in May 2021 and peaked in double figures for six months. RPI inflation since the last election stands at 31%, yet average incomes have risen by less than 25%.

Today’s inflation figures show that, even on the Government’s preferred and lower CPI measure of inflation, prices are rising at above the 2% target rate. Keir Starmer’s first steps in government will set the country on the path to the change we so desperately need, says Usdaw 16 May 2024 Retail trade union Usdaw has welcomed today’s announcement of Keir Starmer’s six first six steps in government, which develops Labour’s five missions for Britain announced last year.
