Workers ‘feel shafted’ by Brexit, says TUC leader

The TUC is stepping up attempts to make sure employment rights are not affected by the EU referendum result, amid fears workers are being “shafted”. Workers are still paying the price of the financial crisis, with wages £40 a week lower than before the crash, and they could face a fresh assault on pay and conditions as a result of Brexit, the union organisation said. General Secretary, Frances O'Grady, said she was determined to make sure unions have a voice in the negotiations taking place to prepare the UK for life outside the EU.
