Introduce a midday break akin to the Spanish ‘siesta’ to protect workers

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
Workers over 18 are entitled by law to one uninterrupted 20 minute rest break during their working day, if they work more than 6 hours. You could start a petition requesting that workers should be entitled to a longer break, or that employers should be required to provide facilities for sleep, if this is something you would like to see.
