Commenting on the ONS inflation figures released today (Wednesday 14 September), Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:

"Rocketing inflation may have been eased last month but that won’t last. Current levels continue to threaten the living standards of millions of workers. This is now a crisis of income. Only the rich and powerful are protected. It’s time for the rest of us to organise into trade unions and take back our share of the corporate profits we create.”
