Willie Rennie has gained the backing of the Scottish Trades Union Congress for is stance on low wages and poor working conditions at Amazon’s depot in his Fife constituency. He’s also challenged Nicola Sturgeon over massive grants paid to the giant company when they treat their employees so badly.
From the Sunday Mail:
But Rennie said Amazon shouldn’t receive any more money until they increases employees’ pay to the “living wage” of £8.25 an hour – deemed to be the minimum income necessary for workers to meet their basic needs.
The Scottish Lib Dems leader said: “The slipshod manner in which the Government have handled Amazon is embarrassing.
“The SNP have paid them millions of pounds in grants, even though they have been avoiding tax and paying workers low wages.
There is little point in Roseanna Cunningham visiting Amazon now unless she gets them to pay more tax and pay higher wages.
