http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bankholiday/ In the UK we have one of the lowest Bank Holiday numbers in Europe. Employees in the UK work the longest hours of any country in Europe, and hours have been rising for many people over the last decade. Long working hours lead to high levels of stress and depression, and other forms of ill health. They place particular pressure on family life. Most people in work find it increasingly hard to achieve a satisfactory balance between work and other activities, particularly the enjoyment of quality time with children and the fulfillment of other caring responsibilities. Long hours have reduced the amount of voluntary work done by those in employment. We propose 2 more Bank Holidays 1 on St Georges Day April 23rd 1 on Trafalgar Day October 21st We ask you to help this cause as we press the government for change, the benefits will help the UK economy and tourism are hugely beneficial. Please sign to help this cause. Once you have signed please e-mail the petition onto all your friends. Get friends + family to sign!

I disagree with the dates you've chosen. The October one is good but I'd vote for more days off in summer rather than another in April where there are already loads of them. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bankholiday/#sig2100830 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bankholiday/#sig2092407 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bankholiday/#sig2087328 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bankholiday/#sig2085160 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition.
