Don’t fall for it. A minimum wage increase is far overdue for many countries. We got to get away from this idea that businesses exceed a position to exceed and it’s the norm to pay your employees the lowest possible.
He should stay away, a total pr...k,sacked his employees that wouldn't take the jab,he is a pillock.will he sack an employee for taking time off for going to the dentist?a total hypocrite.
yes, but what he says is correct ; we'll see a lot of hours cut.. and employers just not taking on more staff.. it'll only hurt the economy which will make UK poorer.. which will make everything more expensive.
@@joecater894If a business can't pay the legal minimum wage to all it's staff then the business can't be making enough profit and is a failed business. If nobody ever gets wage increases how can you grow the economy? Why should any govt of any colour subsidise bad businesses. More benefits goes to people in work than those out of work. What does that tell you?
he's been living in Spain after selling off Pimlico where he Skype's his GBNewts items plus he's also looking to move to Dubai cause of the Tax breaks he says.
Why does he think we want an economy built on businesses who cannot afford to pay employees a decent wage and give them rights to contest unfair dismissal?
And don't come back for Henley Wimbledon Cowes Twickenham etc etc or any of the social calender the incentivised employees provided for the likes of you to enjoy.
Again,he should be investsgated ,how come he became so wealthy, who was he paying off,and how did he treat his workforce? Rod Stewart should sue him for copyright 😂
@@MrSpeekerv1.0 Let's say that your level of productivity is such that you can only produce £10 of value for every hour that you work. With the labour-law insisting that you get paid, say, £12 per hour, it's always a loss if someone was to hire you. It harms these people.
@@lochnessmunster1189 Surely though if a business can't make a profit from it's workers output then it's not a vialbe business and shouldn't exist. The minimum wage can also be an unintentionally bad thing because all the hire-fire 12 weeker jobs via agencies price fix it at that when it actually should be higher for what you do.
@@MrSpeekerv1.0 No, this isn't the case. It's not necessarily the business' fault that a person can't reach the productivity level. Instead, they hire other people. So it discriminates against those who are older or slightly disabled.
Taxpayers have been propping up failed business models for years through the benefits system. If companies can't pay a living wage then it is a failed business plan and no lender should go near them. We have a lot of people in full time work being topped up through the benefits system as they simply don't earn enough to live.
What is he taking about employer rights from day 1 should not be a problem. Employers can have probation periods, as long performance is reviewed and everything documented as to why the employee does not meet the standard required then there is no risk of unfair dismissal claims. Thus he openly admits he fires people in those two years for reasons other than performance. So that's exactly why worker rights are needed from day 1.
He doesn’t want to lose some of his millions, a lot of other employers I suspect won’t agree with him. If you treat employees fairly and pay them properly you will have more loyalty.
People are going to start losing their jobs , wage rises will not not come from the profit of the business, they come from the bottom line and no amount of bleeting about it is going to change it.
I heard a rumour Madame Tussauds were considering a wax work of Charlie Mullins but when they started working on it they soon realised it would be much easier and less costly just to get the shriveled up old leather to be his own wax work. That's why there isn't a wax work of Mullins cos he refused the request.
He does tend to plumb the depths our Charlie. Working for him can't have been a pipe dream. He may be flushed with success but his workers were probably in the toilet.
How is this guy successful? He doesn’t make any sense

This is rich coming from someone who doesn't know anything about life for the ordinary people. people will give their trade to firms that pay a fair wage and avoid his business for being a scrooge!
As I found out in the 1990s the Minimum wage becomes the basic wage , companies will pay no more than it , overtime rate will be flat , no more time and a half etc.
Without growth it’s just more inflation. If people won’t pay the price, then the workforce will be cut and/or automated. Or worse, businesses will just fold.
Not really. If you consider the types of businesses that pay the minimum wage - care services, cleaners, catering, hairdressers....these are services that cannot be cut or automated and the demand is relatively constant. So if the businesses wants to continue operating, the small increase will just be a small part of the overall annual inflation. There are far better ways of controlling inflation than capping the wages of the lowest earners in the land.
Why do you keep saying he is a Billionare? He has ran a business that topped at £20 mill revenue, for 40 years. With currently about $1 mill profit per year. He is a millionaire, but he is not a billionaire unless you are insinuating he has stolen about 99% of his money.
I own a small business and employ people. Minimum wage increase is always great but the cost of wages and all the these tax's increase and on top of that trying to meet 100's of regulations is not a joke. We will either have to pass the new cost to our customers and potentially lose some or sack employees to try and save the business. Anyone who has a business will know this.
If you're paying your staff minimum wage, it's because they are either unskilled, or you're a tight barsteward. Relying on the state to subsidise your business is not going to help the country out of the current hole the tories dug for us. But you only care about profit, right?
Unless they increase threshold of A £12750 income tax , minimum wages doesn’t make much difference. Give with hand and take back with others and make them work harder.
Not quite. The people who are on the minimum wage will only pay income tax at the 20% rate, so there's the 80% uplift minus NI. Definitely worth having!
Mullins, who sold his business for £145 million in 2021, plans to divest all his UK assets, redirecting his investments to Spain and Dubai. Mullins has hired an agent to sell the luxury apartment, which boasts a bar and is located next to Sir Tom Jones's property.
Most businesses increase wage’s usually on an annual basis and increase prices to compensate. These mandatory wage increases will simply lead to price increases to compensate in the same way. If demand falls due to higher prices that will force businesses to reduce the workforce in order to maintain profits. It’s surprising how creative business leaders can be when they see their profitability threatened.
If Mullins has the proceeds from selling his plumbing business in a fairly bog-standard savings account, he would "earn" nearly £20k A DAY in interest, for doing nothing more than sunbathing and he thinks paying a worker an extra £5 or so per day is going to hurt him?
What are you going on about no one's going to play the unfair dismissal card most youngsters don't even know most of their rights in fact they're abused because of it
He just doesn't want to follow due process. If you legit need to terminate someone then you would have documented that reason as to why, such as gross mis conduct or poor performance. However this is why you have probation periods for new staff where performance is reviewed and documented. There is no claim of unfair dismissal if everything is above board such as evidence showing performance is not satisfactory.
He is not a billionaire, he's worth about £160 mil and with regards to apprentice's they are not bound to the minimum wage as they are in learning its a different rate especially for the younger workers. this guys ripped off a fair few of his workers and run his business in such away to pay as little tax as possible, and is now talking of fleeing Britain to avoid having to pay more tax, sounds like he couldn't care less for this country and would rather cut and run, i supposed its expected with some of these multi millionaires huh.
Said this when minimum wage was brought in. Wrong then as it is now. Along with the NHS the minimum wage is the best thing Labour brought in. Can't think of one thing the tories have done for the betterment of the less well off.
Typical ' nouveau riche ' attitude . The buggers should be happy with wot they've Got !! As soon as the tiniest bit of relief for for the poor touches their bottom line , it's scandalous .
A billionaire that doesn't believe in wage increases and workers rights...big shocker
It's not that he doesn't believe in workers' rights... he correctly understands the problems caused by artificially trying to raise wages.
Do you prefer billionaires who think they are socialists?
@@adambinnie1332 Quite strange though, the richer people get the tighter they become whatever their background.
@@lochnessmunster1189and he's not a billionaire
Why are we so obsessed with billionaires? It's the ultra wealthy that have got us in this mess. Stop giving them air time.

And tax them properly.
His plastic surgery also backfired. Can't take anything he says seriously
Don’t fall for it. A minimum wage increase is far overdue for many countries. We got to get away from this idea that businesses exceed a position to exceed and it’s the norm to pay your employees the lowest possible.
Totally a waste of time with other tax increases it will be taken of us
min wage previously has helped a lot ; but its getting dysfunctional now.

Doesn’t want to pay his staff a decent wage! Thought he left the UK so doesn’t get a say
A pratt.
Yeah, hes subsidised by the public purse.
and why are we supposed to listen to the views of a Billionaire when it comes to the working class again sorry?
Yeah,,, A "billionaire" weighs in on minimum wage increases... This is pathetic even for LBC nowadays.

Blah blah blah they said the same thing when minimum wage was introduced all those years ago .

We can hope.

Charlie loves the Limelight 😂😅😂😅
It’s called attention seeking
Who wouldnt leave if they had the dosh its a sinking ship.
A billionaire not wanting employees getting wage increases and workers right 😮
If Mullins thinks it’s a bad idea, then it’s almost certainly a brilliant idea!
He needs all the money to keep messing with his face!
Hasn't he left the country yet?
This tool had the gall to call Starmer a flip'flop!!?😂😂😂😂😂
Billionaire always think that worker getting a pay increase it dangerous. But they have no issues getting a multi million dollar increase
The problem is that he has had so much botox that it is impossible to see how he is feeling.
Why is it the richest most powerful people always say the poor get paid to much, has he not gone yet.
Why does he think we want an economy built on businesses who cannot afford to pay employees a decent wage and give them rights to contest unfair dismissal?
Modern slavery by the back door?
Why is British media obligated to bring the wax work on every time there is a policy proposal?
They should just increase his tax bill and the economy would fix itself
Somebody at LBC doesn’t know what a Billion is.Its a 1000 million,Mullins isn’t worth that.
Your right He's worth maybe 200 -300 mil not a billion.
He sold pimlico plumbers to a big US company who operate service companies. 2/3 hundred million ££s
Take his billions away let him live on minimum wage
This guy's so inspirational! You can be thick as fk and still get rich!

Didn't this bell end sell his company to American investors and leave the country? doesn't sound like he wants the best for the UK

Won't be a burden...you'll just up your prices.
