What did Tom Fox say? And which staff at Villa Park don't get a living wage? Is it catering contracted match day staff? Or someone else? Ticket office, ground staff?He said something about government policy and two-thirds of club employees receive above minimum wage. So a third, presumably mostly casual matchday staff, don't get paid enough to buy a ticket. That's not right.That's appalling and I would say shocking but... It would be good to find out more details. The amount of money that goes through the club and if a third are on less than minimum wage - Jeez! I wonder if this is the same for all PL clubs or if any of them actually pay everyone a living wage?? I seem to remember the club did a big PR spin about being Green it would be good if they paid all their staff properly (as opposed to just the overpaid underachieving footballers).

A third are presumably on minimum wage - which is a legal requirement. Some clubs, Chelsea included, do pay the Living Wage.
Did TF say that there was any commitment to increase the pay of those on MW to at least, LW?

I fear that the new broom is sweeping a lot of the good stuff away.
In all fairness, it's a bit much to expect somebody serving burgers and pies to receive more than the minimum wage. If they did that job elsewhere, minimum wage is all they would get. If people see it as a problem then it's not a Villa problem it's a problem with this country as a whole.
