The next meeting of Weston and North Somerset TUC will be held on 13th February at 7 pm in the upstairs room at the Bristol Hotel, 29 Locking Road, Weston super Mare.
Our guest speaker will be Kit Leary from the South West TUC who will talk about the Living Wage.
Research by the South West TUC released during Living Wage Week (November 4 – 10, 2012) showed that 26% of workers (22,463) in North Somerset earn less than £7.20 an hour – the lowest rate that campaigners believe supports a decent standard of living outside London. From November 2012 the Living Wage increased to £7.45 an hour.
All trade union members living or working in North Somerset are invited to attend.
