Unions welcome increase in minimum wage rates for millions of workers
MILLIONS of workers will receive a pay rise tomorrow when the statutory minimum rates increase in a move unions believe will help boost economic growth.
The government said more than three million workers will benefit after Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the increase in her Autumn Budget last year.
Ms Reeves has described the change as a significant step in the government reaching its manifesto pledge of a “genuine living wage for working people.”
