        How can the care industry justify paying old NHS staff twice what new staff are being paid for the EXACT same job, DISCRIMINATION - theyve had unions fight to pay them so much yet @mencap_charity can get away with £3 hour now for nights ? @BBCPanorama judge get a backhander ??

        We need a proper minimum wage that accounts for housing costs/benefit and tax credits, the state subsidises low wages of these employers. Employers are not even paying people right and yet expect taxpayers to subsidise their low pay. These employers should be sent to prison.

        But if it were a Labour government it'd be a nice minimum wage. Half of them probably can't even read these tweets, yet they want more money for Stella and fags and seats in the Kyle audiences, or even on stage.

        They still do. Unfortunately some of these workers are too afraid to join a union for fear of being sacked. Some companies even ban people from joining a union.. which is illegal.
