THE REFUSAL of Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak to act now to extend protection to British workers beyond October is an act of industrial sabotage and a gross betrayal of those who for generations have built our nations.
While many have worked bravely throughout this pandemic, some paying with their lives as they struggled to protect ours, millions of others have been furloughed at home or agreed to work reduced hours in the face of collapsed demand.
While a safe return to work may now be on the cards for some, with union reps working around the clock to ensure safe systems of work are both in place and enforced, for others a return to full-time work will require a return of consumer confidence and a wider demand for services and products not predicted in the immediate future.
