Make Removals a trade
Rejected

What the petition asks
I want the government to recognise the removal industry as a trade because every other country recognises removals as a trade
The positives about recognising the removal industries as a trade would be that they can be paid a living wage, therefore could reduce the chances of poverty and homelessness within this type of job. It would also remove the fact that removal workers would have to work double jobs just to survive. Not only that it would encourage the workers to work harder and more effectively, also it would increase their motivation to progress even further into the career.
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 want to see greater recognition of people working in removals, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
