Better pay, fairer pay

Everyone should be paid enough to live a decent life and be able to work the hours they need so they can spend time with loved ones.

Our objectives

We’re calling for:

The rate for the job and fair pay for everyone
A £10 an hour national minimum wage and an end to discrimination against young workers
Workers to be elected onto remuneration committees to help curb greed at the top
Universal Credit to be stopped, scrapped, and replaced with a decent social security system
Legal requirements on employers to report on and act to close race, gender and disability pay gaps
High quality, properly funded wraparound childcare to stop the motherhood pay penalty
- Decently paid parental leave that’s reserved for dads and partners
- Employers to fund decent pensions for everyone

Every worker deserves fair pay and a secure job.
