Support Rights for Volunteer Workers
Published by Jonathan Boud on Dec 31, 2009
Target: UK Government (Work and Pensions), Charity Commission
Region: United Kingdom
Background (Preamble):
This petition has come about due to my involvement in volunteer work and my discovery that volunteer workers do not have the same rights as employed people.
I have contacted many groups, including the TUC, Citizens Advice and some independent solicitors and found that volunteer workers affectively have no way of defending themselves against being bullied of denied rights, for instance.
