Rejected petition Shut all non necessary shops on Easter Sunday

It's unfair on retail workers to have to work through a national holiday, when no one shops anyway- yet some money hungry companies still open. A huge amount of Sunday workers are students, and opening on a day like this denies them the ability to spend time with their families.

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you mean by "non-necessary shops", or how you'd like the Government to decide which shops are necessary on Easter Sunday. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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