Forbid work for more than 12 hours a day .
Work over 12 hours a day causes depression because people do not have time for the family and free time for themselves. This is modern slavery.
Example of a professional HGV driver: the driver can work 3 x 15 hours a week and 3x13 hours which gives 84 hours a week. Because it is legally permitted, trssports companies use this mercilessly and plan routes. it causes danger on the roads, increased mortality and diseases among professional drivers. It breaks down the family because such a driver has no time for his wife and children.
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 we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are already laws in place to prevent companies forcing employees to work more than 48 hours on average. There are also specific regulations relating to drivers hours, and what counts as working.
You could start a new petition calling for the 'opt out' which allows people to work more than 48 hours a week to be removed, if that is something you would like to happen. Or you could start a new petition calling for more restrictions on drivers' hours.
