Rejected petition make the national living wage and the national minimum wage the same

it is totaly unfair that a 21 year old is paid considerably less than a 25 year old 21 year olds still have bills to pay and still have to live why should there wages be any different just because of there age being 21. they have the same bills as a 25 year old .

More details

there bills are not lowered because they are under 25 so why should they get paid less in most cases they are doing the same job sometimes doing it better so i say make the minimum and living wage the same for everyone as we are all equal and deserve the same rate of pay
