To make minimum wage equal for all ages to end age discrimination for pay

Petition Details

I want the minimum wage to be made equal for all ages. The minimum wage is currently less for adults aged 18-22 years of age no matter what experience you have. This means workers aged under 23 can be paid less than older staff, even if they have more experience and qualifications.

Additional Information

I would like the Government to re-consider the rates for minimum wage and make it fair. I believe employers should look at the experience and qualifications a person has rather than their age. It is not fair that you can get paid less due to your age. It is age discrimination.
