This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

UK offshore workers have the same right to strike as other UK workers. We are therefore not sure what action you would like the UK Government to take.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
