A three day weekend for all (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
I would like the Government or Parliament to make it law that all people should be able to have a 3 day weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday).
I signed a petition about children having a 3 day weekend including Friday, but parents and others are working on Fridays so there may be nobody to look after them. Where as if all had a three day weekend parents would be able to look after children with no worry or struggle.
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 only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about the days people work are a matter for individuals and their employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling for a minimum 3 days off per working week, but it would still be a decision for employers and employees how that was managed.
