The TUC is urging Employment Minister Therese Coffey to make an urgent amendment to legislation, currently in the Commons, to boost night workers’ pay. It says many barely receive the minimum wage of £8.72 an hour for over-25s and £8.20 for younger workers. The call comes ahead of a move by Labour MP Paula Barker to change the law to ensure that those entitled to the minimum wage receive it. The North West has the highest number of night workers, with London close behind. Ms Barker, MP for Liverpool Wavertree, will this week introduce a Commons Bill to tighten up enforcement of the minimum wage.
