Rejected petition people who are not in education have a right to not have a 0 hour contract.

I want this to be a law enforced since it helps the economy and people individually. I want this to be debated in parliament. Even if the law isn’t altered/ added it would be beneficial if it is looked at and brought to the public eye.

More details

I want people such as single mums to be able to have guaranteed solid working hours but people in education have studies to work on therefore can’t give as much of there time to work but people such as single parents need the money instead of being told they are not getting payed this week.

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

The Government's Employment Rights Bill has almost passed through Parliament. When it becomes law, employers will be required to offer eligible workers guaranteed working hours.
