living wage

Rachel Reeves said the pay boost marked a "significant step" towards achieving Labour’s promise of a "genuine living wage" for workers.

More than half of Londoners who do not earn a "real living wage" have had to resort to using a food bank in the last year, according to new research.

The living wage ordinance was first proposed last year by L.A.

The bill would offer "a genuine living wage and sick pay for the lowest earners" and ban "exploitative zero hour contracts and unpaid internships", she said.

By the time she arrived in 2015, there was already growing concern about garment factories paying well below the living wage.
