'I have worked in previous jobs where I have felt undervalued through my pay and you feel like you do not matter, so I know how important it is'
An East Belfast business has revealed why it has joined the Real Living Wage Campaign and hopes that others will join them.
There are currently 58 businesses and organisations in Northern Ireland signed up to the Real Living Wage campaign, although it may be paid to others who have not signed up to it. Ross said: "Paying a real living wage is something that can not only help your business and staff, but boost the wider local economy as people are less worried about financial pressures and able to spend more in their community.
"I would like public sector bodies, such as Belfast City Council, to become more involved in this campaign and lead the way in the city so that everyone can be paid a real living wage. This would provide a huge boost to our local communities and economy, and it is something that is needed now more than ever."
"The Real Living Wage Campaign highlights this importance but as of yet, there have not been many businesses and organisations in Northern Ireland that have signed up to it, despite its popularity in the rest of the UK.
