Supermarket workers’ minimum wage pay topped up by £11billion in benefits, says Citizens UK
‘Supermarket employees do not get paid enough to live on and national minimum wage earnings are topped up by in-work benefits that total £11billion a year, a charity said.
According to the Citizens UK, supermarket bosses who employ five million people are being “subsidised” by the taxpayer as wages they pay do not make ends meet – the BBC reports.
The national minimum wage currently stands at £6.50 per hour for people over the age of 21.’
