Andrew Little attacks Labour’s record on wages
In a speech to various unions, Andrew Little has bemoaned:
last 20 years, bottom 50% of earners – their wages either stayed the same or went backwards …
The story of the last 20 years is it’s been tough on workers.
Labour were in office for nine of the last twenty years, so what is Andrew saying?
Is he saying that the last Labour Government (which he was President of the party for) failed to lift wages for low income workers?
Or is he saying that the EPMU, which he was the head of, failed to lift wages for their members?
