Over a Million UK Workers Denied Paid Holiday, TUC Reports

- British workers missed out on £2 billion in holiday pay last year.
- 1.1 million employees did not receive any paid leave, with minority and low-paid workers most affected.
- Jobs like waitstaff, care workers, and catering assistants saw the highest numbers of unpaid leave.
