TUC: Five shamed employers 'tip of the iceberg'

The government said the naming of the individuals was a "clear warning" to employers, but the trade union group said more action was needed in terms of enforcement.

Five employers from Macclesfield, Manchester, Edinburgh, Middlesbrough and Carmarthen "neglected" to pay workers sums ranging from £225 to £1,700.
