PAFC and the 'real' Living Wage

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

National Living Wage rises in April but the Living Wage which is set higher is paid by 44 accredited Plymouth Employers, you can imagine my shock to discover that our club doesn't feature on this list.

I thought everyone volunteered at Akkeron Argyle.

They do i thought or on zero hour contracts.

Brenty would have a fit at such astral wages. "How much !!??". And of course, that's the living wage the government "stole", not the "real" living wage that is a good deal higher.  "They" won't be happy until the vast majority of the next generation of "workers"eventually morph into lowly paid high rent income mules, their only function to serve the few. A sort of Dark Ages revisited. It makes economic sense apparently. The only problem being that "they" then have to invent a faux economic reason of "giving"/ "loaning" people some money to to keep buying the materialistic crap "they" produce to keep the capital usefully employed. Capital needs to be fed don't you know, no point having piles of bitcoin if it doesn't earn a living.

Seeing as it won't be wage incomes that generates the needed sales to keep open the future profit centres, perhaps the old grandparents could be delivered to the euthanasia department in return for a gracious interview at the local loan company .... a win win situation, no health costs, one less mouth to feed, and the doddery old grandmas will think they're doing the right thing in the generational unfairness of the world and everything. A £5 grand loan at 10% in exchange for 5 years of life. Bargain.
