If you are single on a 16hr contract you can claim around £60pw UC on the proposed wage rise from Tesco when they get around to it. Is there any reason why the taxpayer should be doing that for workers at a business that posts that level of profits?
My Mrs works at Sainsburys - they provide free food for staff ( mostly the stuff that would be reduced to help poorer customers ) because they know the alternative would be a higher wage claim.
Tesco pledged to increase the minimum pay for shop workers from £11.02 an hour to £12.02 in April however there is a delay in when it will be introduced which could leave many workers paid less than they should
