Closed petition Increase the minimum wage for care workers

Closed on 25 July 2021

I want all carers wages to be paid more than the current national minimum wage. They work far too hard to be getting paid pennies.

All care workers are working extremely hard through the pandemic and the cold icy weather and still giving their service users their best care they can despite all of it. I don’t think the current minimum wage is worth all the hassle they are going through, especially when footballers get paid millions for kicking a ball about. We’ve got people’s lives in our hands, we deserve more. We deserve to be acknowledged a bit more.
