GMB Yound Members Hail Labour Commitment to £10 an Hour Wage
Your rent doesn’t drop just because you are young, says union
GMB young members have hailed Labour’s commitment to raising the minimum wage – which would see 18-year-olds paid £10 an hour.
The current legal minimum wage for 18 to 20-year-olds is just £5.60, meaning young people working full time could be a whopping £7,000 a year better off under Labour – a huge 64% increase.
GMB, the union for young workers, has long campaigned for a £10 and hour minimum wage for all workers, regardless of their age.
Sam Fagan, chair of GMB young members, said:
“Young workers increasing wage poverty has been completely ignored by this government – so Labour’s policy is a breath of fresh air.
“Our members under the age of 21 would see their pay almost double if this policy were implemented.
“You don’t get a discount on your rent just because you’re young – so why should you get lower wages?
“GMB believes in a real living wage of £10 per hour that doesn’t discriminate by age but respects the hard work our members do.”
