Petition Action

Abolish the current age discrimination in Minimum Wage Rates

Additional Information

With increased living costs and rising university fees the under 21s have a greater need than ever for equal payment. When 16 year olds work the same job in the same environment as an individual 10 years their senior there is no logical reasoning for them not to be paid equally.
