Staff at a Welsh council who are working from home could be facing poverty after their bosses refused to give them more money to cover costs, union leaders have claimed.
Council staff working from home in Ceredigion, like many across the UK, face increased energy bills in the coming months due to the ongoing cost of living crisis.
Unison, which is the largest workers’ union representing staff at the council, has criticised the local authority and said that the current rate of tax relief is “not enough to meet rising energy prices” and that many employees are going to “struggle financially with many likely to be forced into living on the bread line”.
