Preston care worker in call for living wage for the people who look after some of Lancashire's most vulnerable
The current national living wage - the minimum amount that workers can legally be given - stands at £9.50 per hour for the over-23s, £9.18 for those aged 21-22 and £6.83 for 18-20-year-olds.
“When I found myself in a single parent household and co-parenting my children with their dad, the effect of low pay and long days caused new stresses. The action taken at Four Seasons headquarters included the presentation to the company of a four seasons pizza with one slice missing - a reflection of what the organisers say is the gap left in care workers’ lives as a result of the lack of a living wage.
They added: “We constantly keep our pay levels under review and are currently implementing a large number of site-specific, off-cycle pay increases for frontline colleagues in addition to our annual pay award.
