the unions have done the most damage of all to workers rights with their ever more outlandish demands, meaning that in the end they had to be cut down to size. Hence TGL was a product of union dogma.

TTT....you are a Tory supporter. Why do you think that :::

A.....The Tories voted against the Minimum Wage ?

B.....That they now think its OK ?

C.....That they didn't bring in a similar law change during their period of majority rule 1979-1997 ?

a) because it's a nonsensical silly policy, all it does is raise everyone to keep differentials and basically causes inflation so any benefit is wiped out.
b) Probably because it is now politically difficult to reverse it. The Torys are nothing if not pragmatic.
c) see a)

The Minimum Wage...... a nonsensical silly policy !

Well, you heard it here first. Even the Tories improved on it, the party you voted for, in the form of the new "living wage"

Brought in by Osborne !

( whatever happened to him ? )

you asked, I told you.

see a) I cannot put it any clearer, the minimum wage has had zero effect. It stays only because it is politically difficult to remove it.
