Cardiff under pressure to pay living wage

by Kadeem Simmonds

A letter has been sent by the Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust, union leaders and Cardiff Citizens community leaders to ask chairman Mehmet Dalman to announce that Cardiff will become the first football club to pay all their staff the living wage before the season ends.

The living wage is currently £7.65 an hour but non-playing staff are paid the national minimum wage, a measly £6.31 an hour.
