Re: Tesco and Sainsbury/Asda
"That's the same in the UK, Tesco and Asdaburys are just as bad. They pay below the living wage and the government tops up the salaries, effectively subsidising their business."
Yes, a minimum wage is supposed to stop the poorest and most vulnerable from being exploited with shitty wages, but many companies see it as a target level for the bottom rung of the ladder. There were reports of wage cuts when the minimum wage came in, some from big companies. Nothing so crass (usually!) of actually cutting existing employees wages, but new starters got new contracts on the new minimum wage.
