Alan, if employers had to pay £10 an hour to get staff, they'd pay it. They'd find the money in various ways (a) increased efficiency (b)slightly smaller margins (c) evening out pay disparities elsewhere (d) higher sales if theyre a commercial entity. All sorts of ways. It's a myth that they can't afford £10 an hour just like it was a myth they couldn't afford £5 an hour.
