Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The unemployed have been told they will get full payment of benefits during this coranavirus outbreak . Yet as a worker I and millions of other workers will lose over 3 quarters of wages if forced to go on SSP by self isolation our wages should be paid in full .
Guarantee full wage for workers .
So we do not lose money due to self isolation as SSP is not enough to live off.
When people on benefits are being guaranteed their full amount this is discrimination against workers.
