Petition Action

Workers Contract. 40 Hrs work a week should be able to support a family.

Additional Information

I would like the government to ensure that the minimum payable wage to any individual in full time work is enough to cover all the basic expenses of an average family. This would make work pay.

At the moment to buy a house, or rent in a desirable area in many instances partners must both work, leaving children without parents.
