Working people are finding it harder to make ends meet, jobs aren’t secure, and a decade of Tory cuts from Westminster has slashed the funding available for Welsh public services.
Wales simply cannot afford 5 more years of the Tories.
Labour in Wales will:
- Introduce a real Living Wage of at least £10 an hour immediately, for all workers aged 16 and over, and ban zero hours contracts.
- Protect our NHS from Tory privatisation and increase funding, with more doctors and nurses to give patients the care they need.
- Give power back to working people, strengthening unions to win higher pay, more job security and a better deal at work.
- Kick-start a Green Industrial Revolution, creating a million good, skilled jobs right across the UK.
- Give public service workers real pay rises, with a 5% pay rise in April, and above inflation pay rises every year to get pay back to where it was before the cuts.
- Build 20,000 affordable homes in Wales, and substantially increase the supply of social housing for rent, including council houses.
- Save people money on fares and bills by bringing rail, mail and energy into public ownership and rolling out a publicly owned full fibre broadband network, free to every home.
- Make bus services work in the interests of passengers, by introducing franchising and giving local councils the power to improve bus services.
