Greater Manchester Living Wage Campaign
Date published: 01 November 2017
Living Wage Week 5 - 12 November 2017
An event is to be held in Oldham, one of three in Greater Manchester, in Living Wage Week this year to support the GM Combined Authority led public engagement process for the proposed GM Good Employment Charter.
A GM-wide Charter will outline good employment practices and recognise employers that adopt them.
Input is needed to help shape a Charter that makes a positive difference to local people and employers.
There is a range of opinion as to how a Charter should be developed and monitored.
There are many questions to be addressed and probably many more still to be raised.
This event will be an opportunity to hear in-depth about the plans and to feed in thoughts and hopes for the Charter.
Topics to be discussed include:
- The good employment practices to be featured in the Charter.
- Levers and incentives for changing business practice and raising employment standards.
- How employers should be engaged and supported to join the Charter.
- What resourcing, promotion and monitoring the Charter will require.
Contact the event host, or the GM Living Wage Coordinator, Lynn Sbaih via 07948 549485 or Lynn.Sbaih@gmlivingwage.org, to confrim attendance.
Date and Time: Thursday 9 November, 8am - 10am
Hosted by: Ben Gilchrist, Deputy Chief Executive Action Together
Venue: First Choice Homes Oldham First Place, 22 Union Street, Oldham. OL1 1BE.
