Rejected petition Minimum wage increase to £10.00 per hour for over 25's. Over 21 £8, Over 18 £7
The government has started by slightly increasing the minimum wage for over 25s to £7.20, I call on the government to further increase the national minimum wage. This would make working fair for everyone, and pay people a living wage.
