This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The Government is not responsible for the length of the weekend for working people. Decisions about working times are a matter for individual businesses and workers.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

Implement measures to support a 4-day work week: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/639885

Reduce maximum working hours to four 10-hour days: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/640995

If you want the Government to take other actions to restrict working hours or support the implementation of a four-day week you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
