“The minimum wage is now coming for white-collar work”

‘In Britain, the fast-rising minimum wage is catching up with the bottom rungs of white-collar work. Indeed, it appears that a growing number of #workers outside the traditional #LowPaid sectors are not even getting the legal minimum rate of# pay’

So it seems the 'wage-price' spiral may not be a complete figment of political rhetoric; its just that its not #publicsector or the #lowpaid who are the one's receiving #inflation inducing pay rises... no, its the top 1% of earners who are actually the one's getting pay rises above inflation.

It makes further mockery of the notion that striking #NHS #workers & others are the greedy causes of inflation.

Blaming workers for this inflation is not analysis its #classwar
