Unite's SOS rally aims to turn back tide of job losses
Workers urge Tories to retain furlough scheme to support vital industries

WORKERS from Britain’s car and aviation industries will rally outside Parliament tomorrow to urge the Prime Minister to save their jobs by extending the furlough scheme. 

The SOS for Jobs rally in central London, organised by Unite, is asking ministers “not to abandon” workers who have helped to build the country. 

Without an extension to the job-retention scheme, which ends on November 1, a “tide of job losses” will hit the manufacturing sector, the union fears.
