Liberal Jews Fight for Spurs Living Wage |
17th October 2013 A group of Liberal Jewish rabbis, LJY-Netzer movement workers and staff joined a coalition of community groups led The Living Wage Campaign, described by PM David Cameron as ‘an idea whose time has come,’ calls for every worker in the country to earn enough to be able to provide their families with the essentials of life. In London the living wage is £8.55 an hour, while outside London it is £7.45. Sam Grant, Liberal Judaism’s communities youth coordinator, said: “Liberal Judaism has a proud history of fighting for fair labour wages. It is a historical commandment as well as a modern moral imperative. We were delighted to work together with Citizens UK on this and hope the campaign, for Tottenham Hotspurs to be the first football club to pay a living wage, will succeed.” |
