SNP Calls For Scottish Athletics to embrace the Scottish Living Wage

As the Rio Olympics get underway, SNP MSP James Dornan has called for Scottish Athletics to embrace the Scottish Living Wage – ensuring that the staff supporting the next generation of Olympians are paid a fair wage. Mr Dornan has written to Mark Munro, the interim Chief Executive of Scottish Athletics, asking the body to consider becoming an accredited Living Wage employer and working to roll out fair wages across Scottish sport. The Scottish Living Wage is set independently based on the cost of living and at £8.25ph is higher than the legally binding minimum wage.
