This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you have concerns about how the Equality Act applies to workers in shipping industry, but it's not clear what you want the Government to do about this.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. This could be changing how the Equality Act applies to workers in the shipping sector, or calling on the Government to take action to make sure shipping companies are abiding by current legislation.
