ONE in six workers have been forced to skip meals regularly to make ends meet, a TUC poll revealed today.
The survey of 2,544 adults found that those working full or part-time had skipped a meal every day (2 per cent), most days (8 per cent), or every week (7 per cent) in the last three months.
More than a fifth (23 per cent) said they were struggling to afford or could not afford their monthly bills.
