Careers that pay 50 000 a year

Royal Mail workers are set to stage four days of strikes in the coming weeks in a dispute over pay. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) said over 115,000 staff will form the biggest strike of the summer so far to demand a "dignified, proper pay rise". Walkouts will take place on Friday 26 and Wednesday 31 August and Thursday 8 and Friday 9 September. It follows a recent ballot for strike action which saw members vote by 97.6% on a 77% turnout to take action . The union said management responded by imposing a 2% pay rise, which it believed would lead to a "dramatic reduction" in workers' living standards because of soaring inflation.

By Karen Hoggan Published 22 minutes ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Energy bills for a typical household could hit £4,266 next year, consultancy Cornwall Insight has warned. The higher estimate means the average household would be paying £355 a month, instead of £164 a month currently. Cornwall cited regulator Ofgem's decision to change the price cap every three months instead of six and higher wholesale prices for its high forecast.

The drought scorching much of the European Union is set to be the worst endured since the sixteenth century, a senior scientist at the European Commission's (EC) drought service has warned. "At the moment... this seems to be the worst" year in 500 years, although a full analysis will need to happen retrospectively, said Andrea Toreti, senior researcher at the EC's Joint Research Centre, who compiles data for the European Drought Observatory. "We haven't analysed fully the event, but based on my experience I think that this is perhaps even more extreme than in 2018," he said, responding to a question from Sky News during a briefing. "2018 was so extreme that looking back at this list of the last 500 years, there were no other events similar," due to the compounding hot and dry weather, explained Mr Toreti, who published a study on historical droughts a year after the event four years ago. That year, particularly dry and hot weather left central and northern Europe with … [Read more...] about Europe’s drought on course to be worst for 500 years, European Commission researcher warns
