Workers Earning Less Than The Living Wage In Wales
EDM number 1251 in 2013-14, proposed by Hywel Williams on 02/04/2014.
That this House notes the statistics released by the Wales TUC highlighting that Wales has 23 per cent of its workers paid below the living wage, a higher percentage than any other nation or region in the UK; further notes that in some constituencies it is as high as 40 per cent with women being the most affected by poverty pay; commends the Wales TUC for its work in this regard; condemns the economic policies of successive Westminster governments that have failed to tackle rising pay inequality; and calls for a living wage to be implemented as the minimum wage.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
