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.
