Premier League & cost of living: More clubs urged to pay real living wage

Premier League clubs have been urged to pay the real living wage to all staff as the cost of living crisis continues.

Twelve of the 20 say they are either accredited Living Wage Foundation employers, or pay the real living wage to all staff, including subcontractors.

Staff working in a London borough will earn £11.95 an hour, or £10.90 outside of that, after an increase on Thursday.

But eight do not pay that rate to all permanent and casual matchday staff, or could not confirm if they do.

Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham and Crystal Palace are Living Wage Foundation-accredited employers, which means they pay the real living wage to all staff including those employed by sub-contracted firms such as stewards, caterers and cleaners.
