The GMB has welcomed news of tomorrow's increase in the minimum wage to more than 5 an hour for adult workers. The increase comes after the government accepted the recommendations of a report from the low pay commission. Further increases could take place after another report by the commission next year. We welcome the increase in the national minimum wage to 5.05 an hour and we look forward to the new rate of 5.30 next year, ... This will be of great benefit to many of Britain's low-paid workers and is one of the major achievements of the Labour government.
