Congratulating Lidl on its Living Wage Policy
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Lidl supermarket chain on paying 9,000 of its UK workers at least the full living wage from October 2015; understands that it is the first major high street employer to embrace the higher pay campaign; believes that this represents an average pay rise of £1,200 per year for thousands of staff, with all its UK employees receiving at least £8.20 an hour in England, Scotland and Wales and at least £9.35 in London, which represents an average pay rise of 14%; further believes that this will cost Lidl £9 million and will take minimum pay in the company past the level recommended by the Living Wage Foundation, and looks forward to other supermarket chains following Lidl’s lead.
