What the petition asks
The Government should require all hospitality venues to close on Christmas Day so staff can spend it with their families.
Christmas is a family day and should be spent with families. There’s more important things to life than working and money. I believe many staff of pubs and restaurants would much prefer to be at home Christmas Day. Some staff work every single day throughout the Christmas period without a day off.
