Workers at Liverpool not paid 'Living Wage' despite club promise
Workers at Liverpool are not being paid the “real” Living Wage despite the club promising “all of its staff and workers” would receive it this season, a Daily Telegraph investigation has found.
The club last night admitted that not all adults who carry out work there would be paid an independently-calculated Living Wage of £8.75 per hour after the Telegraph uncovered jobs at Anfield being advertised for the statutory minimum of £7.38.
Liverpool said in November that their entire workforce would receive the Living Wage from June, with chief executive Peter Moore saying: “We hope that this development demonstrates how highly we value all of those who work for Liverpool Football Club in whatever capacity that may be.”
What they failed to disclose until Friday night, however, is that this pledge excluded workers employed through third-party contractors, who it has been claimed make up a substantial percentage of any club’s workforce. The refusal of all but two Premier League teams to ensure all such workers were paid the real Living Wage was branded “obscene” by campaigners last year following another Telegraph investigation into the scale of clubs’ reliance on cheap casual labour
But it was a further probe this week into teams who had either become or – as in Liverpool’s case – were seeking to become accredited Living Wage Employers that revealed workers at Anfield were still not receiving the figure.
An online search for jobs at the club found an “event steward” advert from sub-contractor StadiumTM offering the legal minimum of £7.38 per hour to under-25s and £7.83 for over-25s.
To establish whether these hourly rates were correct, the Telegraph called StadiumTM yesterday posing as a 20-year-old applicant for the role being advertised.
The StadiumTM representative said the starting hourly rate would be £7.38, incorrectly asserting he thought that was “just above minimum wage”, as well as adding it would be £7.83 for anyone over 25.
On Friday night Liverpool insisted the pledge they made in November had always been limited to their own directly-employed staff and had not included subcontracted workers, which they nevertheless revealed they were working towards ensuring were also paid the Living Wage.
A spokesperson said: “Some workers are employed through third-party contractors and, as part of our commitment, we are working with our suppliers to ensure that, within a maximum of three years, all third-party workers are paid the real Living Wage if they are not already.”
The Telegraph also found West Ham United advertising a vacancy for less than the London Living Wage of £10.20 per hour, more than eight months after they became just the third member of the world’s richest league to become an accredited Living Wage Employer.
The club changed the starting hourly rate in the “foundation sessional coach” advert from £10 to £10.20 yesterday – a week after first being alerted to the discrepancy – on what was the closing date for applications for the job.
A spokesman for West Ham said the salary for the role had been “incorrectly published”, adding they were “extremely proud” to pay the London Living Wage.

What is the Living Wage?
The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by over 3,600 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a fair day's pay for a hard day's work.
The Living Wage is set independently by the Living Wage Foundation and is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK. Employers choose to pay the Living Wage on a voluntary basis. In October 2016 we became only the second Premier League club to sign up with the Living Wage Foundation to pay the real Living Wage which meets the cost of living.
Everton Football Club and the Living Wage
Our accreditation was part of a two-year engagement process by the Club involving both internal and external stakeholders. As part of that process we have not only strived to ensure all our staff are paid at least the Living Wage but have also engaged with sub-contractors and external agencies to put in place the same guidelines for staff employed as part of their contracts with us.
This commitment is not only for the Football club but for other parts of the Everton Family too namely; Everton in the Community, Everton Free School Trust, Everton Ladies and Everton Lotteries.
Why did we choose to become a Living Wage employer?
At Everton we are committed to being a first choice employer and becoming Living Wage accredited is a natural step towards that. We worked hard behind the scenes and consulted with our staff and stakeholders; it is extremely important to us that we treat all of our colleagues well and reward people fairly in terms of their pay. Supporting the accredited Living Wage is quite simply the right thing to do; it improves our employees’ quality of life but also benefits our business and society as a whole.
Becoming accredited is only one element of our ‘People Plan’ which has also seen us review our grading structure and recently we launched a new rewards and recognition programme that introduces greater flexibility to our employee benefits scheme.
Katherine Chapman, Director of the Living Wage Foundation welcomed the accreditation, stating: “We are delighted that Everton Football Club have become the second Premier League football club to sign up as a Living Wage employer, ensuring that all their staff - from caterers to match day staff - receive a real Living Wage that covers the cost of living.
“By putting more pounds in the pockets of their staff, Everton are signing up to a win-win scenario that rewards a hard day's work with a fair day's pay. I congratulate Everton and hope other football clubs will take their lead and follow suit.”

Can't even do the right thing by their own people. Says it all.
Imagine the scenes if Ramos bullets a header in, kop end, to knock them out.
Absolutely. They are a quality attacking side and not to be discounted, will likely be in the top 4 mix, but this narrative that they are nailed on for second place and will be on City's back all the way has no basis in fact and ignores the inconvenient point that there's a few other half decent sides that might fancy a crack at it themselves.
Think Chelsea might be a dark horse myself.

That football club is a stain on our society. This is what thick people who support them don't see. I see a lot of under privileged people "support" them because their name is always thrown about in the media, but it's this audience that they continually mug off.
But because of their high media influence, the hundreds of horrific incidents that club is involved in, never really come to light.

So united have the best keeper, spurs have the best defence, Chelsea have the best midfield and City have the best attack.
What have the RS got going in their favour? They don't have the best team, they don't have the best manager and they certainly don't have the best fans.

Despite this clearly being total nonsense, ‘Bobby Madley dog’ and even ‘Bobby Madley Jack Russell’ – after the story became further embellished – began to trend heavily on Twitter.
A faceless Liverpool FC fan account, operating under the name ‘@AlissonHasHands’, tweeted at 5.37pm on Thursday night: “Somebody found footage of Bobby Madley noncing his dog”.
Three hours after posting the original tweet, @AlissonHasHands sent out another message to boast about how he or she had started the rumour and that they were an ‘ITK’ (Twitter speak for ‘in the know’).
Shortly after came the admission that this IDK had made it all up. They added: “It’s just the first thing that came to mind, seems the kind of fella”.
Yup, ya just knew that those toxic morons across the park with their vile vitriol would have their clammy sweaty lfc mittens all over this.
Probably all doing a jig from the arkles to the 12th man with tiny Hard-Ons as they revel in the fellas misery....
"Arn't we boss ladz , top bantz, wot times soccer am on , can't ye take a joke, Jon bishop larrrrr, everybody luvs us cos wer Ded great...... "
Absolute hole of a club supported by crazy and scary noncefreaks.... It's a new word, I'm submitting it to the Oxford English dictionary for consideration, arsebiscuits the lot of them

I'd like to see some of these accounts, and the LFC websites they are often loosely associated too/cheered on by taken to court for a civil case. It would bankrupt most of them.
