Put the minimum wage up to living wage by October 2017

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The minimum wage as of 2016 was £7.50 for anyone over 25 however the living wage what is really needed to live is £9.15 the give meant think that by puting the wage up a little at a time is going to help us but everything else such as price rent tax goes up by 2020 living wage will be over £12ph

We need to make a stand and get this changed ASAP the government will need to change the minimum wage to £9.15 this year 2017 not by 2020 as by 2020 to live we will need a lot more then £9.15ph.

People are struggling to have fun as rent is at a all time high and council tax is set to rise by up to 4.99% making more working class people worse off.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition calling for the Government to set the National Living Wage at £9.15 per hour by October 2017, if that's what you would like to happen.
