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 concerned about people being wrongly classified as being self-employed, but we're not sure exactly what action you'd like to see.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
