Most workers on Min Wage £6.50 p/hour or whatever they get are on benefits.
So my guess is if they get a increase to £8/Hour they will then lose working tax credits and their rents will increase.
They will be no better off.
Point is - If you are working you should not have to depend on Benefits - Then you would not be berated by middle class tossers on here and labeled as a scratter.
If you are running a business and you can not afford to pay someone enough for them to live on then move your business to a country that can.

This will definitely happenSurely once the Tories have steadied the economy, they'll stop making these savage cuts to public services?
good, my wage goes up to 6.50 per hour soon - 8 quid would be canny but I don't think i'd see any difference as they'd just reduce my housing / council tax benefit i'm sure
good pointThat's a good thing

I guess not but its a good thing that less benefits are required to top up wages......its fairer that employers should paynot for me its not
What you're conveniently ignoring though is that there are many salaried professionals earning 35K a year who work more than 40 hours and dont get overtime. I know of many cases (Im not one of them) were colleagues are working 50 hours for £42-43K. That works out at £16.53. Not a massive difference for the £10 for a supermarket operative that some people would like to see.
Those at the bottom wrung of the wage ladder may not be the best academically, they may be quite happy doing jobs that dont require that much skill as they have other commitments like family to worry about. All they may want to do is go to work and earn a few extra quid for the family. Just cos this is the case it doesnt mean they should be treat like shit and kept on the lowest wage possible
The ironic thing is, its those at the lower end that do jobs you notice first when they aren't done. They are also jobs a lot of folk wouldn't like to do. In a fair society everyones job should be valued.
First to complain when their bins are full.Spot on mate, on these thread always a element snobbery comes out. 'Ah fuck them, jobs where you dont have to think much. Balls to them, they dont deserve a decent wage'
short term or long term?not for me its not
lets hope so chick, I'm a smart cookie - I've just started at the bottom of the ladder but hopefully one day I'll climb the bugger with gustoshort term or long term?
It may be that you are "no better off" financially in the short term, but that 16 hour part time job could be the stepping stone to a big earning career some ways down the path in the future, when the lad's all grown up.
