Chapter 5

Other changes

[ch 5: page 31]

The call for these changes to the NMW comes alongside other union demands designed to help the lowest paid and those most affected by the crisis including:

• fair pay rises for public sector workers;

• banning zero-hours contracts and ending false self-employment; 

• an increase in Statutory Sick Pay to the level of the Real Living Wage that is available from day one; and

• bringing outsourced workers like cleaners in the NHS back into the public sector on public sector terms and conditions.
