Minimum wage rise needed 'as prices getting high'

Workers on the Isle of Man are in favor of a proposed 9.9% increase in the minimum wage, citing the rising cost of living. The increase, from £12.25 to £13.46 an hour, is set to be debated by Tynwald despite concerns from the Minimum Wage Committee about its impact on businesses. While employees like Hassan Ali Tipu welcome the raise, there are worries about potential price hikes that could offset its benefits, as Matilde Liso expressed concerns about the broader economic repercussions.
