The TUC wants to see an end to 'low-pay Britain for good’.
Unions are stepping up calls for young workers to be paid a higher minimum wage after research suggested 900,000 under-21-year-olds were being left “massively out of pocket”. The TUC said young people were losing an average of £2,800 every year.
The TUC said that paying a lower rate to young adults was “unfair” and that the tiered-rates system must be “overhauled”. An overwhelming majority of workers aged under 21 - the cut off for youth rates - received less than the full minimum wage, the union organisation said. TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said: “Too many young workers are being left hugely out of pocket because of outdated youth rates of the National Minimum Wage.
“Young people up and down the country are being hammered by the cost of living crisis - like everyone else, they need more money in their pockets now.
