Government unions call for pay rise for lowest-paid
Unite, GMB and Unison demand extra £1 for worst-off workers
Britain's three biggest unions yesterday demanded a £1 pay rise for the lowest-paid public sector workers to bring them up to the living wage.
GMB, Unison and Unite - which together represent 1.6 million local government workers - formally submitted a pay claim to employers today.
The claim steps up their campaign to put an end to poverty wages in the public sector.
