Osborne caught out trying to sell pay-rise ‘lie’
Bosses ‘slashing workers’ overtime bonuses’ to make up for measly increase
CHANCELLOR George Osborne was accused yesterday of selling a pay-rise “lie” while allowing high-street chains to slash workers’ take-home pay.
Britain’s lowest-paid workers were supposed to see their pay increase from £6.70 to £7.20 on April 1 with the introduction of the so-called national living wage.
The measly rate excludes under-25s and is a full £1.05 lower than the real rate needed to buy basics worked out by the Living Wage Foundation.
