Remove the minimum wage pay gap for under 23 year old's

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the minimum wage for under 23 year olds to be the same as those over 23 year old. We believe that there should be equality of pay for anyone doing the same job, there should be no age discrimination.
As we believe that the minimum wage for young people is unfair as even as the current minimum wage rates is too low for someone to live by if they are under 23 years old that is why we think it is unfair.
