This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Get a national recognition for the responsibilities vehicle technicians hold
Recognise the stress and consequences that apply to our role, and accept that the pay nationally for this trade is unacceptable
More details
The Motor Trade has to be the most poorly paid professions there is, and yet we’re the one dealing with something that over 77% of the uk’s population own and use every day. Us as technicians have no room for error, every single day we have people’s lives in our hands, yet we’re paid a poor wage for such responsibility.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about pay for vehicle technicians - provided these are consistent with national minimum wage legislation - are a matter for individual employers, not the Government or House of Commons.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
