USDAW is committed to pushing “further and higher” on members’ pay amid the skyrocketing cost of living, general secretary Paddy Lillis said today.
Addressing delegates on the second day of the retail union’s 75th conference, he said that Usdaw is set to play its part in the TUC push for a new deal for workers, ahead of the union confederation’s We Demand Better rally in London on June 18.
On Sunday, members gathered in Blackpool backed a motion which commits Usdaw to press for a minimum wage of at least £12 an hour.
