The minimum wage will be turned into a “genuine living wage” on the first day of a Labour government, Rachel Reeves has promised.
The Shadow Chancellor said that one of her first acts in Downing Street would be to review the legal minimum rate that workers can be paid in the UK.
The legal minimum wage is £9.50 an hour for those aged over 23, but the real living wage used by campaigners for fair pay is set at £10.90 an hour.
