We’re celebrating..

On 1 April 2009 the national

minimum wage is 10 years old.

Before it was introduced, people earned as little as

£1.20 an hour

It guarantees nearly everyone working in

the UK a basic hourly rate

Now it’s up for review

And you’ve got a say in what happens

• Improve it – support the uprating of the national minimum wage.

• Extend it – to cover apprentices.• Make it fair – scrap the age bands

that discriminate against young workers.

• Enforce it – make sure workers know about it and employers pay it.

Defend and improve the national minimum wage

Increasing the national minimum wage to a fair

rate for all workers would help boost spending and stimulate the economy.

At a time like this it's even more important

that the national minimum wage continues to be

properly supported by the government.
