You don't get a discount at the shops for being under 18. But if the person serving you on the other side of the counter is young, they could be on half the wage of their colleagues. It's time to end this discrimination. Young people's work should be properly valued, not exploited by employers to cut their wage bill. If they're doing the job, pay them the wage - the real living  wage."--Jeremy Corbyn Dan RobertsShortwave Report- www.outfarpress.comYouthSpeaksOut!-www.youthspeaksout.net
