Make the national Minimum wage up to the same as the national Living wage
At the moment, the national minimum wage is up to £7.50 an hour. This is the statutory amount employers must pay. This does not account for the true cost of living. The Living Wage Foundation has calculated that the real living wage is £8.45. We need to be paid the amount to be able to live!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There is already something called the National Living Wage, which is the legal minimum wage for people over 25.
You can find out more about this here:

If you'd like the Government to increase the rate of the National Living Wage (and/or the National Minimum Wage) to a specific amount, you could start a new petition asking for that.
