Some staff at Sarwar family’s firm not receiving living wage

Labour leader Anas Sarwar has come under fire from SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn for his alleged hypocrisy regarding workers’ rights in his family’s business. Sarwar, who plays no active role in the company set up by his father, has been accused of failing to ensure that all staff are paid the real living wage.

Despite Sarwar’s claims that his family’s business is working towards paying all employees the real living wage, Flynn criticized him for not taking more decisive action. Flynn labeled Sarwar as a “sleekit salesman” and accused him of prioritizing profits over the well-being of workers.

The controversy surrounding Sarwar’s family business has reignited the debate on workers’ rights and the need for a genuine living wage. The SNP has seized on the opportunity to criticize Labour’s commitment to improving working conditions, with Flynn emphasizing the importance of voting for the SNP to protect workers’ rights in Scotland.

The Scottish Tory chairman Craig Hoy also weighed in on the issue, describing Sarwar’s recent interview as a “car-crash” and highlighting the ongoing controversy over staff wages in the family business. With the upcoming election, Sarwar’s handling of the situation has raised questions about his leadership and commitment to ensuring fair wages for all employees.
