When pay rise by less than our bills, we’re all getting poorer. But rising prices don’t have to push people into poverty. It’s the governments choice. To end the pay crisis we need pay rises. Together we rise because together we can win. Join our fight.
UNISON moves into the next stage of Together We Rise, the union’s cost of living campaign today. The campaign, which was launched to members at this year’s national delegate conference and at the TUC #DemandBetter rally in London in June, will now be seen by the wider public.
When pay rises by less than our bills, we’re all getting poorer. But rising prices don’t have to push people into poverty. It’s the government’s choice. To end the pay crisis we need pay rises.

Let’s rise together to end the Cost of Living crisis.
