Rejected petition I want a ban on strike action at festive periods

The rmt union purposely ruined thousands of people’s christmas’ this year. It is not acceptable. Holding people hostage is illegal and these sort of strike actions definitely shouldn’t be allowed to take place when people are trying to get home for xmas

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.

We're not sure whether you'd like only public transport workers to be banned from striking during certain periods, or whether you would like this to apply to other groups as well. We're also not sure how you'd like the Government and Parliament to define "festive periods" - whether you'd like this only to apply at Christmas, or also at other holiday periods.

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.
