The findings are part of wider analysis by the organisation which found that workers across the public sector are facing pay falls over the next few years. The decline is said to be as a result of government restrictions on public pay, which limit salary increases to 1% a year. This subsequently stops wages from keeping up with ever-increasing living costs.
Frances O'Grady, TUC General Secretary, said: "Everyone in the UK has bills to pay, and it's only fair that wages should at least keep up with rising living costs. Workers in the public sector are already feeling the squeeze, and it seems like there's worse to come.
"Government pay restrictions hurt staff in overstretched public services, and make it even harder to recruit good people. Particularly at a time of crisis in the NHS, we need to be recruiting the best people for the job.
"It's time for ministers to give public employers the freedom to negotiate with unions for pay in their sectors."
Jon Skewes, Director for Policy, Employment Relations and Communications, Royal College of Midwives (RCM), said of the findings: "This government is expecting these already hardworking staff to be even more productive than they already are and cope with increasing demands with fewer staff and resources.
"These workers have already taken a hit on their pensions, paying more for less and for longer, and a hit on their pay, yet the government still insists that their pay award is kept to a maximum of 1%.
"This shows a total disregard for the contribution NHS staff make, and the physical, emotional and mental sacrifices they make to keep our NHS working."
