Government needs to increase the wages of retail/food employees due to Covid 19

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:
The Government sets National Minimum Wages, but these apply equally to all industries, and individual employers are responsible for deciding what to pay their staff, provided it meets legal requirements.
You could start a petition calling on the Government to create a fund to reward key workers who have continued to work during the coronavirus outbreak, if this is something you would like to see.
