Ministers “right” to name and shame companies who fail to pay the minimum wage – TUC
Commenting on the government naming and shaming employers who have failed to pay the minimum wage, with nearly 60,000 workers left out of pocket, TUC General Secretary Paul Nowak said:
"Ministers are right to name and shame companies who fail to pay the minimum wage.
"Wage theft is bad for workers, families, and the economy.
"Every pound stolen from a worker’s pocket is a pound not spent in local shops, cafés and high streets.
"The government's new Fair Work Agency, which is being introduced through its Employment Rights Bill, has a critical role to play in ensuring employers play by the rules.
“It's time to make work pay."
