The UKs Institute of Public Policy Research has revealed
two-thirds of UK citizens would support government action to
increase the wages of low-paid workers such as cleaners.
It has been suggested in the research that office cleaners who
earn £14,000 on average should receive a 19% pay rise, of which
2,337 members of the UK public took part. It was also revealed that
82% of those polled said the government should act to redress
growing pay inequalities in both the public and private
sectors.
The report concluded that those who took part in the research
believe the government, trade unions and businesses should plan to
make pay fairer. It reveals that there is a strong public
opposition for the growing gap in pay between the top and bottom
rungs within organisations.
