Make the national Minimum wage up to the same as the national Living wage

At the moment, the national minimum wage is up to £7.50 an hour. This is the statutory amount employers must pay. This does not account for the true cost of living. The Living Wage Foundation has calculated that the real living wage is £8.45. We need to be paid the amount to be able to live!

There is already something called the National Living Wage, which is the legal minimum wage for people over 25.

If you'd like the Government to increase the rate of the National Living Wage (and/or the National Minimum Wage) to a specific amount, you could start a new petition asking for that.
