Rejected petition fair pay for young people

More details

This Petition requests that all 18-20 year olds in work are paid the full Minimum wage. Young people doing work experience must be paid for the work they have done.

• 18-20 year olds who are old enough to vote and fight for their country are paid a minimum wage of £4.98 per hr. Less than the full minimum wage of £6.91 per hr.

• Young people doing work experience are often not paid. This situation excludes young people without financial support from family and friends.
