Inside a campaign
How a Campaign Works
Living Wage for All — overview
A coordinated push across sectors to win wage increases that reflect the real cost of living, backed by research, member mobilisation and bargaining.
Why it matters
Millions of workers earn too little to cover food, transport and rent. A living wage is the foundation of dignity at work.
Key demands
- A national living wage benchmark
- Above-inflation increases for low earners
- An end to wage theft and illegal deductions
