Petition Action

Ensure that the national minimum wage is a living wage.

Petition Details

Raise the minimum wage so that it is a real living wage for all workers (regardless of age). This would, according to the Real Living Wage Foundation, see the minimum wage rise to £9.30 across the UK and £10.75 in London. https://www.livingwage.org.uk/what-real-living-wage

Additional Information

During the coronavirus outbreak, we have seen the economic and social importance of keyworkers, many of whom are on low wages. Supermarket workers, carers, cleaners and so many other workers deserve a respectful minimum wage. They deserve a real living wage.
