Make Subway pay all of its "Sandwich Artists" at least the minimum wage
Stop companies like Subway from offering apprenticeships for non-skilled jobs requiring little training in order to avoid paying the minimum wage.
Sometimes these apprenticeships last over a year as in the example below and allow the employer to pay their staff as little as £3.40 per hour!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament can't change the law to apply to just one company in this way.
