Rejected petition Increase the minimum wage so that a decent life is possible if you live on it

More details

It is not possible to live a decent life on the minimum wage of £5.93 an hour. We call on the government to link the minimum wage to the actual cost of living so that everyone who works is guaranteed enough money to live off sensibly.
