I remember when I was an apprentice electrician at Ford, some of the operators were well pissed off that tradesmen had higher wages. | |

Labour want to do it immediately for everyone over 16.
Tories want to do it for over 21s over a 5 year plan.
I’m far from being a Tory fan but there’s a major difference there. | | | |

Corbyn is in danger of becoming a parody of himself backing campaigns like this.
No disrespect at all to anyone who works in McDonald’s or does a similar job, but the starting salaries for teachers, nurses and police officers are around £20- £25k. Someone working 35 hours a week (I realise many won’t be) at £15 an hour would earn £27,300. There are lots of managerial roles paying less than that.
Someone mentioned hyperinflation in another thread. We’re either looking at that, or the bizarre scenario where people working for McDonalds earn considerably more than people in comparable jobs.
Again, no disrespect to anybody, but it’s completely impractical for everyone to earn the same amount. Unskilled jobs are and should be at the lower end of the scale.
Edit - should have said I’m completely with them on the guaranteed hours (assume this means they are currently on zero hour contracts) and the union representation. Just not the wage demands. [Post edited 13 Nov 2019 20:12]

McDonalds actually do (or at least recently used to) have a decent reputation as an employer. Somewhere someone without serious qualifications but a good work ethic could really build a career.
There were all sorts of courses and actual training that staff could access that they used to use as a sweetener even if the salary wasn't up to much. | |

You can’t expect people to do these professions for the love of it. That doesn’t put food on the table. I understand what you say about the rich getting richer but hey ho, that’s capitalism. You want a communist state where we’re all payed equal then go for it but history shows it doesn’t work. Human nature is to aspire. What’s the point if we all get the same wage at the end of the month. Agreed the unskilled are a cog in the machine of this country but paying them more than the skilled or management levels is unworkable. | |

Do you think teachers go into their profession for a high wage? Because they certainly don't get it. I'd do my job for half the wage I get now if that was the going rate, because i love doing it.
I don't want a communist state at all.
Not everyone aspires to do great things butty, again I can give you many real life people who could do so much better should they choose to, but they don't because they are happy with their lot. Not everyone is a greedy money driven person, in fact most of the nicest, kindest people i know are the exact opposite.
The unskilled are every much as an important cog as those engineers and teachers that you named. | |

So if they cut your wage by 50% tomorrow you'd keep doing it? | |

Selective there wuss.
If the going rate was half of what i earn now, I would absolutely still do my job.
That is completely different to taking a 50% wage cut tomorrow.
I did not go into my job for the money. | |

| £15 an hour on 21:14 - Nov 13 with 1473 views | Dr_Winston |
More easily said than done, unless you earn enough already so you could earn half and still maintain your standard of lifestyle. | |

What?
That's why I couldn't take a 50% pay cut tomorrow. But I would absolutely choose to do my job for half of what i get now, if that was the going rate when I was looking to start this occupation. | |

A maximum wage would be better. £100 an hour would be sufficient. | |

I am extremely lucky mate, I've been with the company for 25 years. Started on the very bottom rung of the ladder for £2.04 an hour. Got my head down, and through luck, good fortune and being in the right place at the right time I've done ok. I've never once asked for a pay rise, a transfer to another role, or applied for a promotion. I'm one of those who as long as I've got enough to pay the essentials, I was happy, anything else was, and is a bonus. | |

Well I’ve never been short of work as an engineer in my adult life. Owned my own company and travelled the world doing things you could only dream of. Not an academic qualification to my name. Too many like you around dumbing down what actually counts. | |

The more ppl earn , the more they spend in the economy and taxes.Money spent makes the economy go round. Within reason and gradually or it could lead to inflation. | | | |

My stepdad used to train the electrician's at Ford in Swansea.
Talking of high wages, my brother works at Ford's in Bridgend (for now at least) and is on a production line and has to be earning £20 an hour. | |
