Rejected petition Give a pay rise to cleaners and care workers
Tax the rich more.
Invest less money in theatre, because from my observation, they are empty, and few shows are held. For example, Venue Cymru, Y Galeri and Pontio which are situated in North Wales. Yes, it is significant that we treasure the arts, but the needs of our people are more important.
More details
Without cleaners, imagine how buildings in the UK would look like.
It is the cleaners who are on their hands and knees trying to wipe all the dirt that people have left without a second thought. Please can we be more aware that some do not want or cannot have a job which requires skills and qualifications. Cleaners are more significant than you realize, and even though the minimum wage is in place, I believe that we should show more appreciation towards them by giving them a pay rise.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about pay for cleaners and care workers are a matter for their employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase taxes on people with higher income or capital, but it would need to be clear what taxes you wanted to be increased, and how.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
