What the petition asks

In the U.K. less than 10% of all jobs are advertised with any kind of flexibility. As a result millions are excluded from the workforce.
Aside from the social and moral imolications, the U.K. has a labour productivity shortfall which is addressed by making all jobs open to flexibility.

The Government taskforce is a start and next year’s review of the right to request flexible work, but there must be more pressure and possibly legislation brought to bear on British businesses to resolve the face millions are excluded from contributing to the U.K. workforce.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're keen to see more Government action to promote flexible working, but we're not sure exactly what you mean by "Provide a clear timetable for action to make all jobs flexible from day one."

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for a specific change in employment law.
