Rejected petition Scrap the National Minimum Wage and let businesses pay what they can afford.

More details

The National Minimum Wage is something thousands of businesses cannot afford and many have gone/are going out of business for it. It is completely unfair on the employer who has worked hard to give people a job to then tell them that they have to pay their staff a wage they cannot afford to pay.

Scrap the minimum wage and get industry moving again in this country.
