Osborne wage may prompt legal battle
TUC questions discriminatory pay threshold for under-25s
GEORGE OSBORNE could face a legal challenge over his plans to exclude young workers from his so-called “national living wage,” the TUC said yesterday.
The Chancellor’s summer Budget included a 50p boost to the minimum wage, which will see it rise to £7.20 from April.
But the wage rise will not apply to workers between 21 and 24, who will continue to receive just £6.70.
