Counting on … day 228

30th December 2024

For many people today may be their first day back at work after the Christmas break. This could be a day to give thanks for all whose work makes our lives easier or more fulfilling. In practical terms we might consider how many receive the real living wage and how many have job security, sick pay and guaranteed holidays.

The Living Wage Foundation – https://www.livingwage.org.uk/ – has information about the real living wage in the UK and lists employers who pay that rate as a minimum. They also campaign on terms and conditions including ensuring enough hours to make a living – https://www.livingwage.org.uk/living-hours
