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.”
