At the same time as MP’s of all parties are being exposed in the press for their expense claims including using Tax Payers money to buy manure, clear a moat,  repair a pipe under a tennis court and unbelievably change some light bulbs, there is a group of Conservative MP’s who are promoting a a Private Members Bill which will introduce an opt out for the National Minimum Wage, which will allow individuals the right not to be paid the National Minimum Wage.

If this bill is successful it doesn’t take the intellect of David Willetts MP to see how open it would be to abuse by inconsiderate employers.

You would think that being a modern compassionate Conservative (sic) David Cameron would denounce these Conservative MP’s and tell them to drop this bill, well we are still waiting. Yet another example of the slipping mask of compassionate Conservatism.

Urgent Action Needed

On April 1st we celebrated the tenth anniversary of one of Labour’s greatest achievements, the National Minimum Wage.

Now less than two months later and revealing the true face of David Cameron’s Conservative Party, a group of Conservative MP’s are promoting a Private Members Bill in Parliament, which will allow an ‘opt out’ of the National Minimum Wage effectively killing it, in the Bill they cite that  individuals not having the right to be paid less than the National Minimum Wage infringes on their Human Rights, that coming from the Party who want to abolish the Human Rights Act.

John Prescott has launched a campaign to save the National Minimum Wage, please show your support by signing the petition and support the campaign to save the National Minimum Wage
