A big well done to the organisations that launched and are pushing forward the campaign for an increase in the minimum wage. Their proposals are just and reasonable.

One question though: why are trade unions not part of the campaign? I sincerely hope it is not for partisan reasons or because they don’t care about employees who are not unionised (as those who are on the minimum wage are likely to be) or because they are not willing to take on the economic powers that be.
