LABOUR Minister Leroy Baptiste would like to go further than workers enjoying merely a minimum wage to have them become entitled to a “national living wage”, he proposed in the Senate debate on the Mid Year Review on July 1.

He promised a workers agenda that would include reform of labour laws such as the Industrial Relations Act and the Retrenchment and Severance Benefits Act.

“We are also committed to the creation of a national living wage.”
