minimum-wage
People Before Profit members holding a stall on the need to raise the minimum wage to tackle rising living costs.

An unlivable minimum wage is just state-sanctioned poverty.

PBP propose minimum wage of €15 an hour to provide a ‘lasting dividend to frontline workers’. The rumoured increase of the Minimum wage to €10.50 in tomorrow’s budget has been criticised as “totally inadequate” and amount to “a continuation of state-sanctioned poverty”by Limerick People Before Profit spokesperson Ruairí Fahy as Ireland has the second highest levels of low wage workers in the OECD with 23% of workers earning less than 2 thirds of the median wage, less than €12 an hour.
