By making it law that the starting rate for all supermarket workers is the real Living Wage is a small way that the government can show its support and help them.

As an arts worker who has become a supermarket worker I now see the demands of this job and all it entails, including the workload, dealing with the public, the unsocial hours etc. Let’s show them the respect they deserve.
