10th Birthday for National Minimum Wage.
(From Government News Network)
] DEPARTMENT FOR BUSINESS, ENTERPRISE AND REGULATORY REFORM 2009/91 31 March 2009 10th Birthday for National Minimum Wage
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson today celebrated a decade of success for the National Minimum Wage and pledged tough government action to support workers' pay rights.
Now standing at GBP5.73 for those aged 22 and over, the minimum wage has helped millions of UK workers get an honest day's pay for an honest day's work.
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said:
"The minimum wage has been a huge success for 10 years and is there to help make sure that workers are treated fairly, whatever the economic climate.
"We are determined to protect the rights that everyone in the UK is entitled to - this is a basic matter of fairness and helps ensure a level playing field for business.
