This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about pay rises for privately employed workers are a matter for their employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase the national minimum wage, if that's something you'd like to happen.
