Increase living wage to £10.00 by end of June 2020
Increase living wage to £10.00 by end of June 2020 to thank all the Key Workers on minimum wage for keeping the country going through the Covid 19 outbreak.
All the lowest paid workers for example Shop Staff, Delivery Drivers, Care Workers, Cleaners, Doctors Receptionists have kept this country going throughout this Coronavirus outbreak. They have done this on wage that they cannot have a decent life on.
They have gone above and beyond in this period, putting their lives on the line day in, day out. This Pandemic has shown the world the true heroes are not Filmstars, Influencers or Sports personalities. Its time we thanked them.
