Shouldn't City be paying staff real living wage?

[grim up north]

Are they not agency staff and City should insist that the employer pays the living wage as I bet they get more money from City than they pay out

 

[give it to gordon]

To be honest if City aren't paying the living wage I find that abit embarrassing. ....after all the good work the club does in the community it seems odd not to pay the living wage

Sure I remember a couple of years ago that the club do pay the living wage, but a lot of the jobs are contracted out and we don't insist thet they are paid the living wage, which we should. Not 100% sure on this though. Either way, yes anyone working for the club or sub contracted should be earning the living wage.

I am not saying that City shouldn't pay the rlw. However surely it would be better for all those on lower wages, if the government would up the tax threshold to £180/£190 per week before anyone pays income tax. This is far better than playing the rlw, as they will lose 1/3 of any rise they get if they are put on the rlw, to income tax and NI.

 

[york away to this!]

Shouldn't the bar staff do some real living work?

I think its 220 pounds now.

Recently I worked for minimum wage 7.5, its a joke, 37.5 hours pays exactly 254 pounds per week after tax and insurance taken off.
And when I stayed overtime like 2 hours every day it was even worse I got extra 40 pounds for that 10 hours more as none of the breaks were paid of course and the tax/insurance jumping a bit too.

The government should just put the national minimum wage to the level of rlw and end this madness.

Btw I live in London, so the 7.5 per hour here is even bigger joke with the transport and rent prices even for a shit single room.

How anyone survives on less than 10/hr is beyond me?

To pay 7.50 or even less,is a pisstake.

This.

No doubt. And we should insist that any sub-contracted service provider does the same.

If any agency pays someone say £8 an hour .City will be paying the agency significantly more than the £8 thats how agencies make their money .A code of practise will have to be agreed to if Clubs are serious about paying a living wage .Footballs .Football Shirts and other memrobilia are made all round the world by young kids for a pittance and then bought by fans for a pittance .there has been many campaigns to stamp it out all to no avail.any potentional loss of profits will just result in fans paying extra
