What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

UNIQLO committed to paying the Real Living Wage. The Living Wage Foundation announced that the voluntary Real Living Wage rates increased by 65p, reaching £14.10-an-hour across the UK and £15.45 in London. This increase benefits workers at nearly 17,000 employers.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The commitment means UNIQLO will face increased labor costs. The new wage rate is significantly higher than the current Government minimum wage for over 21-year-olds.
