We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Stop the exploitative practice of unpaid internships for students.
Make it mandatory for all employers in the UK to pay a minimum wage to their student interns.
More details
Brands are exploiting the fact that we are students to use us for free labour.
The companies we work for often would not be able to produce the work they do without us or without hiring employees to replace us.
A lot of us have to resort to working, sometimes 30+ hours, in addition to working as interns just to be able to survive.
Companies should be required to pay a salary for any work that is done for them and the fact that we are student interns should not change that fact.
