Fight for £15

It's time to...

Sick of low pay?

Join the fight to raise the floor.

We won't work for less than a living.

Work isn't paying. Since the pandemic started, the cost of living has risen by more than 40% for most people. £15 per hour is now the minimum necessary for a decent life. Yet half the workforce are paid much less. While profits have risen astronomically for the wealthiest, "in-work poverty" has exploded.

Most of us say the minimum wage should be £15. We are demanding a real living wage. The new Labour government have pledged to deliver it. But despite this, they are not yet committed to the £15 minimum wage.

The biggest and wealthiest employers should already be paying £15 per hour. And the government should make it happen, supporting small businesses to get the rest of us up to £15 within this parliament.

It's time we put the pressure on.

Our power is our work.

We are essential. Politicians rely on our vote. We just gave Keir Starmer the biggest majority in decades. We could take it away in 5 years.

We are essential workers. Employers rely on us to turn up and work. When we stand together in a trade union we gain the power to win change or stop work.

Without power there will be no change. By joining together in protest and in unions, we will build the power to force employers and politicians to act.

Here's our plan...

Over the next 100 days of the new Labour government we will recruit 100 activists to hold local movement building events. At each event, we will aim to recruit 100 more organisers to build the campaign in each town and city.

Together, we will sign up 100,000 of our fellow workers to join the movement. We will leaflet shops, industrial estates, hospitals - you name it. Together, we will ask our co-workers to join the fight for £15.

Unless Kier Starmer commits to £15, after 100 days the campaign will launch. We will join together in the streets and political offices demanding fair pay. And we will train each other to form unions and fight employer by employer.

Ultimately and if necessary we will strike together for a decent standard of living.

Are you in?

And can you chip in?

This is a grassroots campaign launched on a shoestring budget.

Every £1 you give will help pay for the website, rooms for launch events, travel for organisers and social media ads to put the campaign in front of our fellow workers.

We will happily share our budgets and accounts with donors so you can see where every penny goes.

Thank you for helping..
