Everyone who works for Wandsworth Council should be paid the London Living Wage (LLW), according to a report to be discussed by councillors.
The paper, written by Labour opposition councillor Andy Gibbons, claims the move would help increase social mobility and motivate workers.
The LLW is higher than the government-set minimum and living wages, because it is worked based on the cost of living in London, and It is currently £10.55 an hour.
All direct council employees are already paid the LLW, but Cllr Gibbons argues this should be extended to contractors too.
