An interesting piece in The Conversation on the realities of insecure work and low pay. It underlines the importance of paying every worker at least the real Living Wage, as well as securing wider decent and more secure working conditions. theconversation.com/the-rise-of-th…

New research finds that 1 million public sector workers across the UK don't earn the real Living Wage. This is unacceptable. Paying the real Living Wage is good for workers, for society, and for the economy. We need fair pay for all now. theguardian.com/society/2019/f…

James Daunt, Managing Director of Waterstones: "I'm a great believer in the real living wage and the principles that underpin it." Great, then it's time to turn this belief into reality and pay all Waterstones workers the real Living Wage.

There is nothing "complicated" about paying the real Living Wage. It's good for businesses, good for the economy, good for society, and good for workers. Living workers needs living wages - it's really very simple!

New Scottish Government statistics show that 60% of adults living in poverty in Scotland are living in working households. Now - more than ever - we need to restate the importance of the real Living Wage and use every lever we have to ensure decent pay for all workers.

The Living Wage is not "unaffordable". What is unaffordable are the rising levels of in-work poverty we see across the country, and what is unjustifiable is paying workers a wage that keeps them locked in poverty. scotsman.com/business/snp-s…

Work should help to support people out of poverty, yet two-thirds of children in poverty in Scotland live in working households. We need to design our labour market to work for everyone. Read 'Righting the wrongs: A manifesto to tackle poverty': povertyalliance.org/wp-content/upl…

Low-pay, precarious work and high transport, childcare and housing costs mean that too many workers are locked in poverty. This election, we need all political parties to commit to action that will boost workers' wages and bring security and flexibility to the labour market.
