The Living Wage Campaign was lauched today in City Hall. It is calling for a Living Wage of 10 euro an hour as the minimum rate that any employees of companies awarded public contracts should be paid. Crumlin based Cllr. Eric Byrne has submitted a motion to Dublin City Council calling for contracts only to be given to companies that pay a Living Wage. The campaign launch was supported by Mick O Reilly of the ATGWU, Jack O Connor of SIPTU, Labour Youth, Joanne Delaney and Pat Rabbitte T.D. leader of the Labour Party.
