Closed petition Pay the Living Wage
Closed on
The Centre for Research in Social Policy regularly calculates a wage which would guarantee workers a decent standard of living (Currently £7.20).
This is scientific evidence of a simple measure to dramatically reduce poverty, and we believe the Government should firstly pay all public workers this, and proceed to look into raising the Minimum Wage in line with the Living Wage.
