one: Green Party supports living wage: The Green Party is calling on the Government to follow the lead of conservative politicians like London Mayor Boris Johnson and adopt a living wage for all Government employees and contractors
- It is unethical that any person working for the Government earns less than the minimum required to live a basic existence
- A living wage makes economic sense. It reduces the need for other Government transfers and empowers workers
- A living wage is achievable, for the Government and profitable employers it is simply a matter of priority and choice All we AAll need now is a Govt prepared to introduce a Tax system which is progressive and includes all areasof income and we might be making progress on “closing the gap”
