Abstract: | The article deals with the introduction of the national minimum wage (NMW) in the United Kingdom. It describes the background to the debate, dealing with, among other things, developments in collective bargaining policy, deregulation and the positions of the political parties. It also touches on the changes that have occurred in the thinking of the TUC and the Labour Party. The establishment of the tripartite Low Pay Commission (LPC) and the way it has operated are described in some detail. |
