Rejected petition Raise the minimum wage of under 25’s.
Rejected on
Raise the minimum wage for under 25’s. Just because we are under 25 doesn’t mean living costs are any different! I’m working multiple jobs yet I still earn less than someone who’s on £7.83 for working DOUBLE the hours of them. You’ve raised costs so raise our pay! £4.20 isn’t good enough.
