UK employers made *£27 billion* from free labour last year. How much unpaid overwork do you think @OfficialUoM relies on? How much of our free time is given to an employer which gives us a real-terms pay cut in return? Work to your contract - no extra hours, no extra tasks.

UK employers claimed £27 billion of free labour last year through unpaid overtime, according to the TUC. Around 3.8 million people had on average £7,100 in wages that went unpaid over the year.
