Lidl's promising to become the first supermarket in Britain to pay the recommended living wage.
It'll give workers £8.20 an hour from October, and £9.35 in London. It's an average increase of £100 a month, or £1,200 a year. The supermarket chain employs 9,000 people across the UK.
The discount chain says the £9 million pound cost of the increase won't put up prices in store.
Chris Wilde from the Fife Living Wage campaign says he is delighted at the news:
