TUC: Naming & shaming of minimum wage cheats must continue

Commenting on today’s (Friday) government publication of a list “naming and shaming” 92 employers who have failed to pay their workers the National Minimum Wage, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“Ministers are right to name and shame these companies. Today’s list contains many well-known household names and the level of underpayment in some cases is truly eye-watering.

“Now is not the time for complacency, however. We know that thousands more rogue employers are cheating their staff and getting away with it. It is essential that HMRC catches up with them too.

“Bosses who try to duck the minimum wage must have nowhere to hide. Strong unions are needed in every workplace to stop these abuses from happening.”
