Compass: support EDM for High Pay Commission!

The centre-left pressure group Compass has re-launched its campaign for a High Pay Commission with an Early Day Motion tabled in Parliament.

It is now asking supporters to write to their MP encouraging them to support EDM 191.

It sent out an email yesterday stating:

Because at the same time whilst a Bankers’ Windfall Tax is a symbolic first step we know the fight for a more equal and fairer society will need more than just emergency measures. We need a fundamental examination into the effects of excessive pay on our economy and society.

That’s why whilst we’ll do all we can to support the government on imposing its one-off levy on bonuses we now want to see them establish a High Pay Commission. So today we’re asking you to urgently call on your MP to sign up to EDM 191 in support of a High Pay Commission.

We’ve quickly gathered the support of over 50 signatories to get you started but we now need you to take action and help us get the 100 MPs we need to make a decisive impact.

It has launched an online tool to contact MPs with a model letter in support of their campaign. That can be accessed from here.
