Thousands of Lanarkshire key workers who played a vital role during the pandemic are now living on the breadline due to the cost of living crisis.
A study by the GMB union revealed that 7187 key workers in South Lanarkshire are currently earning under £25,000, meaning they are being hit hard by the current financial situation.
The union claim these figures prove that a proposed pay increase will not be able to cover the escalating costs of food, utility bills and fuel.
