Require all non-essential businesses to close on Christmas and Boxing Day
I call on the Government to require all non-essential businesses, including the hospitality sector, to close on Christmas and Boxing Day so staff can spend time together with their families during the holidays.
I work in the hospitality sector and because I have children, I'm forced to work with flexibility on days and so are many of my colleagues. I believe nobody wants to work on Christmas day and we love our job, but would like to be able to spend time with our family over the Christmas period.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
