What the petition asks

I have seen a video in which Terry Christian has admitted he knows employers who have sacked people because of voting out in the 2016 EU referendum.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because it's about something that the UK Government or Parliament isn't responsible for.

If someone feels they have been unfairly sacked they can apply to an employment tribunal who will investigate their case.
