Britain's Sainsbury's to raise staff pay again

LONDON (Reuters) - British supermarket group Sainsbury's said on Wednesday it would raise pay for its 127,000 hourly paid workers to at least 11 pounds ($13.24) an hour from February as it looks to attract and retain staff in a still tight labour market.

The group said the pay of Sainsbury's and Argos retail workers would increase from 10.25 pounds to 11.00 pounds per hour outside of London, and from 11.30 pounds to 11.95 pounds per hour in the capital.
