Rejected petition Make National Minimum Wage Compulsory for all Internships

In order to gain experience, many people are required to do a work placement or internship. More often than not, these are unpaid; an unsustainable system.

More details

It should be compulsory that all interns are paid at least the National Minimum Wage, whatever the length of their placement. It should be made illegal for interns to not be paid.
