Change Mondays to Weekend as well.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Turn Mondays to a weekend so we have a more equal week.
We have only 2 days to see our families and children. We have to change this. 1 less day to work has such a small impact compared to the goodness this would bring to the mental health of people around England. Now more than ever, people need this time with their families to get help and care. They need rest as well. This could up productivity at work and sharpness on the roads.

Why it was rejected

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about working hours are a matter for individual employers and employees, not the UK Government or Parliament.
