Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

This petition is for security personnel who are not receiving a suitable hourly wage I.e NMW wage
This petition is for company's that employ security personnel that they should pay a minimum of £10 hour
Plus pay for any additional costs I.e security courses badge renewal costs etc
Because security personnel should be treated like a emergency worker we should come under the same bracket as emergency worker we protect the public

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can accept petitions calling for the Government to create minimum wage rates for particular types of workers, but decisions about reimbursing other professional costs are a matter for individual employers, not the Government or House of Commons.

Additionally, your petition says that security workers should be treated like emergency workers, but there is no higher rate of minimum wage for emergency workers.
