"This paper looks at the likely impact of Brexit on the core concern of trade unions: good jobs with decent pay. Critically it does not start from a sunny assessment of where working people are now, but from a deep understanding that for many working people, wages and living standards have not recovered from the crash. Unlike some, we do not pretend that everyone in the UK is doing well. Trade unions do not believe that the UK economy is delivering enough good jobs. But our analysis is that voting to leave the EU would make that worse, not better."
