Apologies if this has been pointed out already, I've only gone back 3 pages..................
I was amused to see a right wing commentator suggest that Prime Minister Cameron is certainly isolated after the recent summit; as isolated as a man left on the quayside when the Titanic sailed.

Sarcasm. But, the reality is that numbers of such staff are very small in relation to overall numbers on the payroll. |

The reality – and the point – is that a relatively small increase in pay to the lowest-paid employees makes a positive benefit to the business as well as to the employee/s. |

I appreciate that may be the case in some instances, although I doubt whether the well-being of a few kitchen porters will have any discernible impact on the overall results of a major accountancy and consultancy business.
IMO the main reason KMPG, Goldman Sachs and certain banks will have signed up - is that the cost to them will be negligible and its cheap publicity and positive PR. |
