Pension vs Minimum Wage Fairness | Glasgow News
Description
Campaigners are pushing to raise the UK’s State Pension to £14,500 annually — nearly £2,000 more than current levels — arguing it’s unfair that retirees earn less than even the minimum wage for young workers. With the pension ranking 13th out of 28 European countries, advocates led by Richard Sobey MBE say a lifetime of taxes and contributions deserves at least parity with today’s lowest pay. A petition launched July 28, 2026, seeks 10,000 signatures for a government response and 100,000 for parliamentary debate — deadline January 28, 2027.
