Limit the nr of self service checkouts/ automated services within establishments
Introduce legal limits on the number of automated services within retail establishments and any other businesses & public sector where such is currently being / planned to be used to protect jobs.
The actual human workforce should be pro rata to the business capacity / size.
In past years it was deemed safer to introduce more automated services however this trend is still continuing to increase leading to more & more redundancies leaving people out of jobs for a long time & with worsening living standards amidst the current inflation crisis.
Despite the drop in physical staff which should have led to lower prices as no / less wages to be paid, prices of services / products still continue to increase.
To protect jobs legal limits on automation must be introduced.

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about in-store services in supermarkets, including provision of staffed and automated checkouts, are a matter for individual retailers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
