UNIONS revealed today that workers in Wales are losing out on £152 a week because pay is still below 2008 wage levels.

The Wales TUC says the longest pay squeeze in the modern era was a “damning indictment” of the Conservatives’ economic record.

In almost a third (32 per cent) of local authority areas pay packets are still worth less than in 2008, according to the WTUC analysis published today.
