Rejected petition Make the National Minimum Wage the same for all age groups.

Currently the national minimum wage for a 17 year old is £4.35, yet for a 25 year old it is £8.21 (As of 1st April). When I was working a minimum wage job, I was doing the same work as all the other colleagues, I was just younger so I was paid less. It should be Same Job, Same Pay. Simple
