Rejected petition Introduce British equality laws

Introduce specific laws which force equal representation of British people in the UK workforce

More details

While there are equality laws these tend to focus on equal representation of ethnic minorities. We need specific laws which address the current disproportionate representation of British people in the UK workforce. In practice this means employers must recruit a fair proportion of British people in its workforce
