Rejected petition I would like the government to set the national living wage from 18 not 25
Rejected on
im requesting that everyone who is employed and of age 18-24 to sign my petition to force the government to pay us the living wage too, there is no difference between someone who is 18-24 to 25, we all should be paid the same wage for the same JOB!
I emailed the government and had a very poor response, however the law clearly states that it's illegal to discriminate against age, gender, sexual orient, we should not be penalised because we aren't 25 yet, I personally don't think it's fair. If you agree please sign let's not stand for it lets get a proper wage.. If not lets all strike!
