    Not much but it’s something for the growing number of minimum wage workers in Ireland . A 39 hour week at minimum wage 10.20 will give you 397.80 which is 20,685 per year .
    You can sympathise with small businesses struggling that are running a tight ship but there are plenty of very profitable companies who could pay their staff a lot more than minimum wage . The likes of Larry goodmans AIBP meat factories been one particular disgrace .

    Does that mean you agree to anyone working for a struggling company or one not making profit having their salaries slashed?
