Rebecca Long-Bailey MP responds to Resolution Foundation report

Rebecca
Long-Bailey MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial
Strategy,
commenting on the recent Resolution Foundation report, said:

“Britain
needs a pay rise – and this applies to both standard and overtime hours. The
fact that fewer workers get overtime pay coupled with a fall in the number
enjoying a premium of more than 10% is indicative of wage stagnation in this
country. This is why Labour wants to introduce a package of employment rights,
including sectoral collective bargaining to improve the pay and conditions of
workers.”
