I'm looking for a bit of clarity on the subject of the living wage. My old man is flipping his lid about the headline I'm sure you've all seen by now. He's under the impression that Celtic are paying the current living wage at the moment but haven't signed up to an agreement that if the minimum living wage increases, they will adjust their wages accordingly. I'm not very clued up on it myself so what's the script? Everybody seems to be pointing the finger and saying we're not paying it.

{Ed007's Note - The Living Wage has went up this month from £7.85 to £8.25 and CFC haven't raised it yet, that's their prerogative as they aren't accredited (signed up to the scheme) payers, TRIFC have started paying it at the new rate but they also aren't accredited. CFC have been paying the £7.85 since last year but worryingly they cut hours and made redundancies to cover the extra cost.}

I'd assume the finest of wagyu steaks are still being served at the top table. The jobs and hrs could have being maintained had these guys had an ounce of decency. Their dividends on there preferred shares would I'm sure have went along way.

The whole thing is a joke. I mean what even is it? It's not mandatory so to be fair CFC don't have to budge.

28 Nov 2015 14:59:52
Not mandatory isn't the issue, the issue is how important that extra few pence per hr means to those in the lower paid jobs in society. The difference of having the dignity to be able to feed and support your family by putting in a shift or queueing at a foodbank as well as putting in a shift.
Thatcherism has ruined a generation. It has bred a society that doesn't give a #uck.

@ttts. Well said mate. A little bit of common decency and such a small sum that they wouldn't even notice it would make a huge difference to the people on the basic wages.

28 Nov 2015 18:25:45
TTTS, whilst i agree with much of what you're saying, there is a thing called minimum wage, and i know people who get that or just more than it who manage to feed their families. Fact of the matter is there are thousands of companies who don't pay this living wage BS. Any headlines are just yet another attemp by individuals to tarnish CFC.

They shouldn't be in a position to be tarnished JimTim.
The fact they are, they deserve all the flack they are getting. Disappointing.

The Living Wage isn't important compared to many other issues. The amount of funds available to buy and pay wages for first team players.

28 Nov 2015 22:23:24
Which has been cut to shreds also by the way old bhoy.

Don't usually like The Guardian's McKenna, but his post on the living wage seemed definitive to me. Shame it put the team in the news for the wrong reason, but their stance here is a mockery of our heritage, and a slap in the face to many who make game day happen in the first place.
