Raise the national minimum wage for apprenticeships
The national minimum wage for apprentice's is just £3.40 a hour, raising to £3.50 a hour in april, the national minimum wage for someone 18 - 20 is £5.50 a hour,
Someone doing a apprenticeship gets only £476 a month Judging on the average monthly bus fare across the UK being £60 And the fact that lunches would cost £20 a week that leave the average apprentice with just £336 for the month, but why should that be the case when the other employees would get In excess of £500 left over after they have paid out for food and travel expenses.
But apprentices work just as hard a regular employees and sometimes even harder, I believe the national minimum wage should be raise to £5 a hour
