Closed petition Raise minimum wage to £10.50 for 25+, To comply with inflation and living costs

Closed on 19 July 2021

I want the government to consider raising the wages of us workers on a minimum wage to £10.50 a hour, to help less privileged people get better jobs and help build the economy and benefit the the world.

The reason I want the government to do this is due to the inequality of the wages we are paid. Also the living expenses and house prices have gone so high that we struggle with making ends meet. After tax and working hours which for some of us are 60 Hours a week we still struggle. Most of us have been key workers and neither have got furlough or a rise in wages. Now If the government ever rises tax rates we would suffer even more. We deserve more minimum pay.
