GMB Union, representing workers across Coventry City Council, has today responded to the news that the authority has appeared on a list of employers failing to pay some staff the National Minimum Wage (NWM)
The NMW is the legally binding minimum pay floor for employers in the UK, currently set at £12.21 for adults over 21.
Delcan Downes, GMB Organiser, said:
"This must be a wake up call for the Council.
"Their staff keep vital Coventry services running day in and day out; the fact some of receiving less that the bare minimum is staggering.
"We're calling on council top brass to urgently get their house in order and fix this".
