Unite warns of 'summer of discontent' over pay
The general secretary of the UK's biggest private sector union has warned of a 'summer of discontent' over pay.
Ms Graham, who recently took over Unite, said ordinary workers have already "had a spring, summer autumn and winter of discontent for years". "Wherever they can, firms are stepping-up to help by absorbing costs to keep prices down for consumers, as well as supporting their employees to cope with the cost-of-living spike."Speaking to the BBC in her first broadcast interview, Mrs Graham said that calls from the government and the Bank of England that workers should not ask for high wage rises were "totally wrong" and "abhorrent".
