This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The terms and conditions, including pay, of employees is a matter for them, their employer, and any relevant trade unions. This means the UK Government is not directly responsible for the action this petition calls for.

You could have a petition calling on the Government to devise a strategy to reduce the gender pay gap to zero, if that is something you'd like to see happen.

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