The North of Tyne mayor has issued a call to regional companies and charities to demonstrate their commitment to providing good jobs, by signing up to a pledge on better work.
The North of Tyne Combined Authority’s Good Work Pledge scheme is designed to help employers prove their credentials as good places to work, highlighting their determination to provide secure jobs with development opportunities, fair representation, and wages that provide a decent standard of living.
So far, 85 organisations, including accountants, restaurants, cleaning companies and a theatre troupe, have signed up to the pledge, with O Agency, Northumbria University, and retailer For the Love of the North becoming the latest to gain the status. North of Tyne mayor Jamie Driscoll has called for more local organisations to follow their example.
