This week Living Wage Scotland is celebrating reaching the milestone of 3,500 Living Wage accredited employers in Scotland.
The real Living Wage has made a huge difference to thousands of workers and their families. The network of accredited employers in Scotland have now put £485 million into the pockets of low paid workers.
Living Wage Scotland is working to continue growing the network to support the tens of thousands of workers in Scotland who are in insecure work and paid below the Living Wage.
Commenting, Martin Whitfield MSP said:
“I am proud to be part of the collective effort to ensure everyone in Scotland gets paid fairly.
“Together, 3,500 Living Wage accredited employers have delivered a pay rise to over 64,000 workers and put over £485 million into the pockets of low paid workers.”
