Today's Independent on Sunday "Labour would give tax rebate to firms that pay living wage" made me feel very happy. I have been pressing for a living wage, alongside UNISON for some time. work needs to pay and people need to feel that their work is valued by their employer. Remember when we were threatened with the loss of millions of jobs when the minimum wage came in? People who know better still talk about employment as a benevolent act by employers rather than as a means of increasing income. I have yet to meet someone who would benefit opposing a living wage.
