Making work pay

Young people deserve equal pay for equal work. In 2010 Usdaw successfully negotiated with Tesco the abolition of their under-18 pay rate. This was equivalent to a pay rise of £1.25 per hour!

This means that from 29 August 2010, all employees regardless of their age will now be paid the adult rate of £6.81 per hour (£6.47 in Express). This gives Tesco workers under the age of 18 around £3 more per hour than the National Minimum Wage.

Young workers are amongst the most vulnerable. The main reason for their vulnerability is that many do not join a trade union and lose out on vital protection at work.

Make sure you don’t lose out – Join Usdaw today!
