THE Scottish TUC called on the government yesterday to take legal action against employers after more than a dozen Scottish firms were named for failing to pay the minimum wage.

Sixteen Scottish companies owed 125 workers a staggering £29,611, according to figures released by the British government.

The worst offender was social care firm Crossroads Caring Scotland, which failed to pay a total of £17,685 to 40 staff.
