For the last couple of months our team has been working on a petition to get a minimum wage for those who are still in school, or starting college. It has come to our attention that people under the age of 16 have not been treated fairly. This is when we decided to start our campaign. Our aim is to get a minimum age for those that are 16 and under. Over the last couple of months we have been working hard to get all of our campaign ready for our presentation. We have done a number of things to get people to sign up for our petition, these include a website, posters and leaflets made by our group, news paper article and we wrote a letter to our local MP.

The stories shared in the comments reveal how many young people feel undervalued in their first jobs. These reflections remind us that this campaign is about dignity and fair treatment for everyone entering the workforce.

Reaching this level of engagement feels like a genuine turning point for our campaign. It confirms that the fair treatment of young workers is a priority for many people in our community. We are now preparing to present these collective concerns to our local representatives with renewed focus.

kids work just as hard as the adults. my son gets paid pennies for paper rounds while doing the same amount of work in the rain. time for a change.

teenagers have costs too. bus fare and clothes cost the same for a 15 year old as they do for a 20 year old. this is fair.

About time! Exploiting teenagers because they are young is disgusting. PAY THEM FAIRLY.
