Ban fixed-term employment contracts

Petition Details

I believe the government ought to prohibit fixed-term employment contracts, making permanent employment the only option.

Additional Information

I believe the government should ban fixed-term employment contracts, so that only permanent positions are available. Many of the jobs I see are limited to one or two-year contracts, which means I might have to search for a new job once the contract ends. This situation makes it difficult to plan for the future as I cannot rely on being in the same role past that point.


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.
