Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, found himself at the center of a controversy regarding the payment of the real living wage at his family's firm, United Wholesale.
Initially, Sarwar admitted he was wrong about his family firm not paying all staff the living wage, sparking accusations of hypocrisy. However, the trade union Usdaw later clarified that, following recent pay negotiations, all workers at the firm do indeed receive more than the real living wage. This statement came amidst Labour's campaign for a 'New deal for working people,' which emphasizes a genuine living wage for all.
Sarwar has stated he has no direct involvement in the management of the family business but acknowledged the importance of the issue.
