Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you mean by employment agencies. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

Background
Employment agencies are modern day exploitation of workers in the country, all they are bothered about is making money for themselves and not giving a second thought to the people that are going out to work. It's 1 person going out to work and earning 2 wages, 1 for the agency and 1 for the worker. They won't negotiate wages with you, saying the employer won't pay anymore, but the workers have a contract with the agency and not the employer, its the agencies that are responsible for the workers wages not the companies.
Therefore, there is really nothing an agency can do that can't be agreed between a worker and a company.
