Petition Details

Make employers pay extra for unsociable hours -night shifts

Additional Information

Sleeping during the night is something we all need to function properly. It's been proved by scientists ( prof. Matthew Walker neuroscientist of Berkley University in California) that lack of sleep raises the chances of getting cancer up to 70%.
The link between the lack of sleep and cancer is so strong that about 3 years WHO decided to classify ANY KIND OF night time shift work as a probable CARCINOGEN!!!
As a night shift workers I feel like we deserve better then National Minimum Wage

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about paying employees beyond the National Minimum Wage is a matter for individual employers, not the Government or House of Commons.
