Make the national living wage the same for anyone over 18.

Petition Details

I've always believed that hard work is rewarded in this country but im being proved wrong. I do the same work a 30 year old who has my job does, isn't not paying me the same ageism?

Additional Information

Im working two jobs just to try and rent my own flat. Im michael and i get paid £5.35 an hour at one of my jobs. that's nearly £2 less than someone over 25, meaning people my age have to work more for the same amount of money. this is ageism as it is assumed i don't need as much money to get by. But this is wrong. I realise it would be expensive for employers which is why the gap could be closed gradually not all at once. Im not the only one, this is happening all over the UK. Please support.
