chilledbear 16 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 @ChrisGraham76: Rangers are set to implement the living wage at the club. A move which I'm sure will be welcomed across Scottish football. #RFC #livingwage 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,366 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Is it the real living wage or Osbourne's minimum wage renamed ? Surely it's obvious given one has been a legal requirement for 16 years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Surely it's obvious given one has been a legal requirement for 16 years. ok I heard Arthur Scargill at the last election. He reckoned the living wage should be £12 per hour 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) DAVE King has confirmed Rangers Football Club will provide the living wage to its employees. The board made the decision over night as they held a meeting ahead of Friday’s AGM and it was reached unanimously. The Chairman said: “The one issue that was raised at the meeting yesterday and that I was not aware of when I came in during the course of this week was the whole living wage issue. “I sent Stewart Robertson an email about one o’clock on Thursday morning and said I heard about the living wage issue, is this something that affects Rangers? “He gave me a report and I took it to the board yesterday and the board has now approved that Rangers will in fact provide the living wage. “It is a great thing and I think all the board members expect that it is the right way forward, we all agreed it is absolutely right and it should be what Rangers are doing and it is what we will do. “It will be implemented immediately, the decision was made for it to come into effect straight away and we will continue to maintain that. “I wasn’t aware there was a living wage issue, it came up in a discussion and I asked what it was and it’s something I expect in South Africa because we have that concept but I didn’t think it existed in Scotland.” http://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/rangers-adopt-living-wage/ Edited November 27, 2015 by chilledbear 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,366 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 okI heard Arthur Scargill at the last election. He reckoned the living wage should be £12 per hour Introducing that would just lead to a huge increase in unemployment and a hike in taxes to pay for the increased benefits payable, so a vast majority of the population would be worse off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
