flag Oxfordshire Council faces pressure to adopt a £14.06 living wage for all workers, aiming to reduce in-work poverty and boost the local economy.

flag Calls are mounting for Oxfordshire to adopt a regional living wage, with Labour’s Glynis Phillips urging the county council to extend the £14.06 hourly rate—currently used voluntarily in Oxford City—to all staff and contractors. flag She argues the move would address in-work poverty, improve worker wellbeing, and strengthen the local economy, noting that without it, lowest-paid staff earn £980 less annually. flag The proposal, set for discussion on March 24, includes requiring all suppliers to meet the standard, aligning with the council’s goals of fairness and sustainability.
