Set a professional minimum wage for the professional driving industry.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We are classed as professional drivers and we are urging the government to set a professional minimum wage that employers cannot go below.
With the shortage of people within the driving industry the needs to be seen being as proactive as possible and bring in new blood into the driving industry setting a professional minimum wage for these jobs would be seen as being proactive and attract new drivers into driving jobs within Britian.
