What the petition asks

Workers throughout the U.K deserve a pay Rise starting from £10 to £12 Hour.

Workers should demand pay Rise due to poor class who suffer living costs. meantime the rich class dodge tax and do all type of frauds to keep the money flowing while the working class are paying higher tax.

Rising inflation, falling living standards and static pay fuel anxiety across all income bands, thinktank finds.

Inflation rose from 0.5% in June 2016 – the month of the referendum – to 3.1% in November. Wage growth has failed to keep pace, despite low unemployment, and was 2.3% in October.

Anxiety over future job and pay prospects has become entrenched among UK workers against a backdrop of falling living standards, Brexit uncertainty to a side.

Why it was rejected

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

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We think you might be referring to the London Living Wage, which is currently £10.20 an hour (and £8.75 an hour outside of London). The Living Wage is calculated independently and paid voluntarily by employers.

In contrast, the National Living Wage is a legal minimum that all employers have to pay to employees over 25 years of age. There is one rate (£7.50 per hour, set to rise to £7.83 in April 2018) for the whole country.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition asking the Government to increase the National Living Wage to more than £7.83 in April 2018.
