Bubble Tea stores pledge to pay up following pressure from MP and activists

Following pressure from activist groups and Stewart McDonald MP, the Bubble Tea company, Mooboo, have agreed to change their training policy to pay minimum wage.

Commenting, Stewart McDonald said:

"It is to be welcomed that Mooboo have recognised the need for a change in their training practices and that they have committed to paying people in accordance with the law. I pay tribute to those activists at groups like Better Than Zero and 38 Degrees who have helped bring this issue to the fore. People deserve dignity in work and it's a shame it has taken a public campaign to get Mooboo bosses to recognise that.

"However, there are still outstanding questions over what exactly Mooboo have been up to up until this point and I am not giving up until I get answers.

"I have asked Jane Ellison MP, the Treasury Minister with responsibility for HMRC, to look in to this case. I hope she will still do so and determine if Mooboo has been in breach of the National Minimum Wage definition. If they have been then that cannot go unpunished."
