Rejected petition Give workers at Matalan retail stores better working conditions or better pay.

Matalan has a tendancy to treat staff badly. Often giving shockingly short notice of working hours, being rude and unsupportive towards staff. This is all as well as being paid £4 per hour for people under 18 and £5.20 for under 21s. Although this may be minimum wage, it is not enough to live from.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This is the responsibility of Matalan, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government or Parliament to take action. For example, you could ask for the minimum wage to be increased.

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