Labour's Business Secretary is set to announce a minimum wage shakeup
Government ministers are set to announce a major change to the minimum wage in the UK. Officials will factor in the cost of living when calculating the lowest amount employees can legally pay workers, with the gap between minimum wage for younger and older workers reduced. The plan comes as a new poll found 7 in 10 voters think the lower rate for 18-20 should be scrapped altogether.
That is why we are moving quickly to restore security and dignity to all the people putting in the hard graft to build this country from the ground up - giving hope to those striving to make life better for themselves and their families. “Our new deal will protect working adults with a genuine living wage, creating a stronger, fairer and more aspirational future for work in Britain.
