Greater Manchester council backs pay increase for workers on par with inflation amid cost of living crisis
Trafford council is backing a pay claim on a par with inflation for its workers. The authority has resolved to support a pay claim submitted by Unison, GMB and Unite on behalf of council and school workers for an increase of £2,000 or the current retail price index rate, whichever is greater.

"We'd all like to work less," he said. "But if you work less you will be paid less. It's not up to the Government or the taxpayer to fund someone who doesn't want to work as hard as someone else." However, council leader Andrew Western told Coun Chalkin that he had "no understanding" of the "unaffordability of the current crisis".
