How many Premier League clubs pay the real living wage?
Living Wage Foundation director Katherine Chapman told BBC Sport:"It's great clubs are paying the real living wage but we would love to see more and it would be great to see more clubs accredited because that is a signal of long-term commitment.
The number of Living Wage Foundation-accredited employers in the UK has doubled to 11,000 in the past two years, meaning that Thursday's rate rise will offer a timely boost to 400,000 workers. But they said they would fulfil a commitment with the Premier League to continue paying the real living wage to all permanent staff. The Premier League's policy since 2016 is that clubs are required to pay permanent staff the real living wage.pay the London rate of the real living wage to the majority of their employees, including permanent staff and outsourced stewards and cleaning staff. But that does not include third-party catering staff, who receive the National Living Wage.
"We know sports clubs were hit hard during the pandemic, but these Premier League clubs stayed with the living wage, they've taken that decision to protect the lowest paid workers and we're really proud of it."League Two Grimsby Town are one of only two Living Wage Foundation-accredited clubs in the English Football League, with Championship side Luton Town being the other.
Following their promotion, Grimsby froze their prices and have been rewarded with record season ticket and shirt sales. They average about 5,400 fans this season and are currently 10th in League Two.
