Aldi gives second pay rise in year amid high demand for UK workers

Supermarket chain's move comes as employers face fierce competition for staff after Covid and Brexit

Aldi has raised pay for shop workers for the second time in a year in the latest sign of the intense competition for workers in the UK.

From September, the grocery discounter is to put up hourly pay by 40p to a minimum of 10.50 outside the M25 and to 11.95 in London, an increase of at least 3.5%.
