Mandate Trade Union in Ireland calls for abolition of sub-minimum wages for young workers.
The Mandate Trade Union in Ireland is calling for the abolition of sub-minimum wages for young workers, arguing it's unfair, unequal, and discriminatory. Currently, 19-year-olds earn 90% of the national minimum wage, 18-year-olds earn 80%, and workers under 17 earn 70%. The Low Pay Commission recommends abolishing all sub-minimum rates, and the Minister for Enterprise, Trade, and Employment is considering the recommendation before making a decision.
