Make it a legal requirement for employees to be paid double on a Sunday

Closed 52 signatures

What the petition asks

Many people including myself are required to work most, if not every Sunday, without any additional pay. Considering Sunday hasn't always been a legal trading day and the act was only put in place in 1994, I think it should be a legal requirement that all employees should be paid double on a Sunday.
