Mr_Squirrel Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Its more likely to be replaced rather than scrapped or lowered. There have been rumblings for some time that the NMW may be replaced with something along the lines of 'Acceptable living wage' If that is the case, what it will be set at is anybodys guess but it has long been considered that the NMW has allowed employers to take advantage of the low wage structure of the NMW.

Dogs Of War Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I wonder how much the current incumbents will be able to steal from the working people before they eventually wake up and fight back. Hmmm. It would be impossible to steal more from the working man than the Last failed Labour government did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last lot managed 13 years. Families have become poorer under Labour Labour's economic record will come under attack from the Tories today as figures reveal that families are worse off than they were five years ago. Shadow Chancellor George Osborne will say that since the last election in 2005, national income per person has collapsed by £281. It is the first time since at least the 1950s that the figure has fallen over the course of a full Parliament. LINK Hard working families penalised in order to benefit hardly working families. That's the NuLabour approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosey Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Different day same right wing propoganda! They are still right though. You claim minimum wage is being abolished with no proof. I could equally claim that it's being raised to £20/hour and the claim would be equally valid until one of us gave evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The trouble with the minimum wage, is in its very definition. It implies low achievement and poverty. Until we become a decent enough society to treat all people equally, these strata will continue to exist. The true mantra should be, To each according to his needs, from each according to his ability. Then we would see a free and equal society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanic99 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't believe they'll scrap it, but that they will not raise as per the linked viewpoint. The ridiculous things is that this then increases the Benefit bill as people will be entitled to around 95% of their loss in extra benefit. If they want to cut the benefit bill, then they should increase the minimum wage. Silly sods, when is the next election due.http://www.church-poverty.org.uk/news/toriesminimumwage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
