Unite budget response: Stealth taxes are workers paying the price, this is the wrong choice

In response to today's budget Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:

“The chancellor has picked a side. Health workers, engineers, and tanker drivers will pay by stealth taxes, while city bankers and billionaires are unscathed” 

Unite's analysis shows that the decision to freeze income tax thresholds will result in an additional 10 million workers paying the higher rate of income tax. The number of workers paying the higher rate will have gone from 1:10 in 2019/20 to 1:4 by 2030.
