LOW PAY IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE

Motion Text

That this House congratulates the Fair Pay Network, a coalition of trades unions and anti-poverty charities and the Institute of Public Policy Research on their campaign to secure fair pay for the large section of off-the-pitch staff working for Premier League clubs who receive low pay; notes that this initiative enjoys cross-party support, including that of the Minister for Sport and the Mayor of London; acknowledges the best practice business case presented by companies such as KPMG and Premier League sponsors Barclays, which records money-saving results for fair-paying large employers; and calls on all 20 Premier League clubs to engage positively with this initiative and with the offer of support from both the Fair Pay Network and the business community.
