•    that of another public body of which you are a member to a greater extent than others in your ward.

11 PUBLIC QUESTION

 

Council to consider the following question from Mr Stuart Hellingsworth.

 

The imminent closure of Snack Creations in Great Yarmouth in 2026, represents one of the last big industrial employers leaving the town. As a direct result of this, Unite the Union Great Yarmouth is running a campaign for Decent Jobs in Great Yarmouth.

 

We are calling for business and Political leaders to support the growth of jobs that guarantee;

*Pay at the Real Living Wage (£12 per hour or above).

*Guaranteed hours contracts (no zero hour jobs).

*Trade Union agreements to ensure workers have a real voice at work.

*Real training and development opportunities (including apprenticeships).

 

The 2019 Economic Profile for Great Yarmouth shows that workers in Yarmouth are subject to lower wages, longer working hours and less economic prospects than other parts of the County.

 

The 2020 Economic Strategy states that it’s aim is to grow a quality local jobs market with higher median wages, better paid work and investment in skills.

 

Can councillors provide us with any evidence that wages and conditions for Yarmouth workers have improved since the strategy was written?
