Pay people aged 21-25 "The Living Wage"
Pay people between the ages of 21-25 The Living Wage (£7.20 an hour) instead of The Minimum Wage (£6.70 an hour)
Why is this important?
For Fairness and equality which clearly doesn't exist anymore for the under 25's. The fact that people over the age of 21 have all the responsibilities of an adult but not the wages is an absolute disgrace and grossly unfair and an total insult to the hard working people between the ages of 21 and 25 who really should be entitled to this rise. The message from George Osborne seems perfectly clear - people between the ages of 21-25 are adults, should be expected to work as hard as an adult and shoulder all the other responsibilities of an adult but just not earn the same amount of money as one.
