Living Wage to drop by $1.50!

The so called is calculated by Rev Waldegrave as the amount a family with two children needs to live on, taking into account current payments.

If 's gets implemented will pay $60 a week to some families with an under three. That is $1.50 per hour, so hence the living wage drops from $18.40 to $16.90 an hour. Hooray.

Will those City Councils that have vowed to introduce the living wage, set it at $16.90 an hour instead of $18.40 an hour if Labour win?
