This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government isn't responsible for the issue you raise. UK law places limits on the total amount of time someone can work during a week and the minimum amount they can be paid an hour, but it doesn't specify how many or which days of the week they have to work. This would be a decision for employers and the employee.

We could accept a petition calling for the legal maximum number of hours during a week to be reduced or a legal limit placed on the days that people can work, if this is something you would like to see happen.
