Have the working conditions of sweatshops reconsidered in favour of human rights

Petition Details

Worldwide, there are many people who put in valuable work but receive a fraction of their true earning. This issue isn’t reported on as much as it should be - due to the common response of ‘there already are laws’. Consequently, this petition can highlight the problem which is often shadowed.

Additional Information

Studies show that some people are willing to pay more for items which they know are made under healthy working conditions. Therefore, there is no excuse for sweatshops to still exist in 2019.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you're concerned about sweatshops, but we're not sure exactly what you want the UK Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
