Brexit 'would leave British workers £38 a week worse off'

Leaving the EU would be a disaster for wages, jobs and employment rights, the TUC says

A decision to leave the EU would be a "disaster" for British workers who would be 38 a week worse off outside the EU by 2030, according to the TUC.

The trade union federation, which is campaigning to persuade voters to remain part of the EU, said Brexit would hit wages, jobs and workers' rights and warned of a "devastating" blow to Britain's manufacturing sector, where highly skilled jobs would be lost.
