Well done Lidl!

'Lidl has said it will pay 9,000 of its UK workers at least the full living wage from next month as the first major high street name to embrace the higher pay campaign.

The German-owned supermarket chain said the move represented an average pay rise of £1,200 per year for thousands of staff, with all UK employees receiving at least £8.20 an hour in England, Scotland and Wales and at least £9.35 in London. It currently pays £7.30 an hour outside London and £8.03 in London.'

Or...... they are simply being responsible employers?

Just as with a country's Fiscal Position - If the money is there then fine. If it isn't then we are left with that sad old Chinaman; No Kwan Doo.

Are Lidl going to take a profit hit? Or will their prices go up
