Jobless 'To Be Forced To Work' For Benefits

[London_Manila]

A Fact

If the minimum wage had gone up at the same rate as directors pay over the last 5 years it would be £19 an hour now

Before you Tory boys jump in and tell me that the companies cant afford it
Well the same companies have no problem in upping the directors pay to ridiculous levels

I'm going to guess that's a mixture of:

a. There's a lot more "normal workers" than directors, so a tiny increase to normal hard workers who could really do with an increase to buy things like........ummm....bread? Would cost a lot more than giving a few grand extra to the handful of directors.

b. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas, and directors decide pay.

Oh and don't get me started on golden handshakes/goodbyes.
Always the same though isn't it. £5000 wage rise is nothing to a director, but imagine how it could change the lives of the people who do the REAL work
