There is nothing more inconvenient than strike action, especially on public transport.

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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

This petition seems to be asking for unions to act, not the UK Government. 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. We could accept a petition that asked for unions to be required to pay compensation for all losses incurred as a result of strike action, if that's something that you'd like to happen.

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