Rejected petition Raise the minimum wage to be the same as the living wage.

Make the minimum the same as the national living wage for everyone regardless of their age. 16-22 year old are old enough to leave home and school to work full time so they deserve to be eligible for the national living wage.

More details

We want the government to enforce a National Living Wage and make it law that every company and organisation pays their employees as wage which they can live independently on.
