Rejected petition Make self service checkouts pay an employees equivalent of tax and NI.

Self service checkouts are displacing shop workers. They increase profit, but do not benefit society.

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'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask Parliament to change the law, to require companies who use self service check outs to pay additional tax and National Insurance contributions.

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