With Morrisons announcing an increase for 80,000 employees supermarkets across the UK have begun raising staff wages.
Morrisons is increasing pay for thousands of workers to a minimum of £10.20 an hour - the highest of all its rivals for work outside London, the Mirror reports.
The supermarket says this is up 2% from the £10 an hour they were previously paid. Morrisons has also upped the minimum wage for London staff - covering all stores within the M25 - to £11.05 an hour. But Morrisons is just one supermarket to put wages up recently.
