The GMB trade union said it would take a 999 ambulance call handler almost 150 years to match the pay of the average CEO. Senior bosses of the next 250 largest UK companies would need to work until 11 January for their pay to overtake the annual earnings of the median UK worker. Every person in the top one percent of earners, (\u00a3145,000), will overtake the median by 23 March.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3QnT2nq\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-239049","snippet","type-snippet","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/snippet\/239049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/snippet"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/snippet"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldsocialism.org\/spgb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
