Current UK economy is booming if you listen to those in power, but it is strange when the big story of the day, is that 2 million workers are being paid less than a living wage. The UK government has a basic duty to provide legislation, to stop businesses paying less than a living wage and putting people, effectively in the position where payday loans and credit cards, become the only way they can live month to month. But this is unlikely as the main culprits are local government councils and the workers in the care and community services industries.
We Are Not Monkeys!
The story is that local councils have just offered a 1% pay increase to these workers after 3 years of pay freeze, now if the council does it , not a good incentive for local businesses given the taxes they pay, to increase private workers pay!
