This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition National Maximum Wage
More details
The Govt wishes to have businesses prosper in this economic climate, one way to do this is that they are able to have be better control over their wage bill. I propose that as well as having a National Minimum Wage that parliament should enact legislation for a National Maximum Wage in order to curb corporate greed in the boardrooms of large corporations and excessive bonuses that are paid out to Bankers and traders in the markets.
Anyone who exceeds the set limit should be subject to penalties laid down by parliament and be subject to periodical review.
This i believe will go some way to narrowing the income gap between the rich and poor.
