Reduce the working week legally to 4 days
Scientific research suggests people are more productive if they work 4 days a week instead of 5. This would also improve the happiness and well-being of British people. It would be effective for teachers and students as well as other people.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because it's about something that the UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for. This would be a decision for employers.
UK and EU law places limits on the total amount of time someone can work during a week and the minimum amount they can be paid an hour, but it doesn't specify how many or which days of the week they have to work.
You could start a new petition calling for a law placing limits on the number of days someone is allowed to work during a week if that is something you would like to see happen.
