A Living Wage For All: Young Workers Demand Fair Pay
GMB London Region's Young Workers group surveyed members, who revealed:
- 54% felt that their pay was not fair and relative to similar roles and individuals performing their role
- A staggering 99% are worried about the cost-of-living crisis.
It is deeply unfair that any worker should be paid less than they can reasonably live on. It is completely unacceptable that young workers are often paid even less than that.
Taking action
GMB London Young Workers believe that all young people deserve dignity in and reward for their work, as much as older people do. We are calling for:
- All employers to pay a genuine Living Wage – currently £11.95/hour in London
- Young workers to be treated and paid equally
- The Government to legislate for a universal, genuine Living Wage
