The 37 cases named today were thoroughly investigated by HM Revenue and Customs after workers made complaints to the free and confidential Pay and Work Rights Helpline.

The scheme was revised in October 2013 to make it simpler to name and shame employers that do not comply with minimum wage rules.

As for your claim it is only interesting if you could put some meat on the bone.
I have many times RJD but you refuse to read the evidence when I do copy and paste it, you refuse to read references. Your problem is you don't want you beliefs challenged because you don't want to end up with cognitive dissonance.
You won't believe the DWPs own data, you won't believe Hansard, you won't believe the Public Accounts Committee, and you won't believe the Work and Pensions Committee.
He once had a record by the Monkees many, many years ago but he chucked it away because it had that word you mentioned four times in it's title.

Worst case of dogma until Fatcher got in.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I have read a couple of your posts on the subject from which at best I can deduct that the state should back-up those in the worst economic situation. This IMO would leave many working for a very low income, even lower than the minimum wage in some cases, in one of the richest countries in the world. That is the part I find difficulty in equating with.

Perhaps I'm reading you wrong ?
(see also the manifesto thread)

I think one of the most evil things the state can do is force someone not to take a job because it might embarrass the state. Not everyone needs the so called living wage, not everyone needs the NMW. Many workers are second earners in households where one other is earning well. But they need their identity, they need their social contact, they need their chance and no one should block that just to hide that the state has so effed up the job market with stupid interference so it does not inherently deliver better wages and higher employment.

And yes if someone is the only earner and they get below the NMW then their employer will have no security of their work and the state should ensure someone that willing to work receives enough for a decent life.

A perceptive and balanced post which hits the nail on the head. You are one of a select number of posters on this forum whose posts are worth reading.
I agree, but no one is perfect.

You provide no synopsis just links. No I will not follow these as you are a serial time waster. So you can raise this matter a hundred times a day and the answer, until you demonstrate otherwise, is that I have much better things to do with my time than allow you to waste it. I note others have accused you of wasting their time, but you persist. Are you incapable of learning?

When I copy and paste the data and conclusions as well as the links, you still don't read them.

Can't just be me who thinks that applies to you more than just about anyone else on here.


Won't read links or consider solid evidence and clear facts, the Sun today announced a cover up but alas we still have at least one big tit on here...........

As you are not known for substantiations of any claims or any research on anything, clearly you will not have suffered a loss of time by following Mr Smurfs often dubious links. What you do with your time is your business and I will decide how I use mine.

You cannot, well you can, draw such a conclusion. It is getting to be rather boring, but you should realise that one has to be a little discerning in what one does and one doesn't read and you do not rate with Tolstoy more like Mills n Boon. I do not rate your links for the oft stated reasons and since you have wasted so much of my time in the past I see no reason to reverse that decision. For me you are top of the serial time wasters list, but maybe, just maybe, you might reverse that opinion. Up to you I don't care either way.
