A £25,000 salary is not enough to prevent poverty and parents are turning to loan sharks to pay for school uniforms, Scotland’s most senior trade union leader has warned.
STUC general secretary Roz Foyer said First Minister Nicola Sturgeon needs to “get a grip” and start treating the soaring cost of living as a “humanitarian crisis”.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mail, Foyer said the living wage and minimum wage levels need an immediate review, and jobs which once commanded a good basic salary no longer provide enough to live on.
