GMB says Andrew Bailey should gain first-hand experience after he said workers should not ask for big salary rises
One of Britain’s largest trade unions has invited the governor of the Bank of England to work as a care worker for a day to witness how people cope on low pay.
The GMB, which represents about 500,000 full and part-time workers, said Andrew Bailey should see first hand the challenges of making ends meet for people struggling on below average earnings – many of them low-paid women working in the care sector – after the central bank governor called for wage restraint to limit the rise in inflation.
