Ensure all agency businesses ensure sick pay is covered during the epidemic

What the petition asks
Liverpool based agencies don't cover sick pay, this means that anyone who contract the virus will end up without cover during their sickness. An example being the Liverpool city centre based agency Brook Street won't cover this.
Ensure agency workers are protected. Force recruitment businesses to cover sick pay. Regardless of the epidemic, ensure that present workers are protected and that no terms or conditions skip this vital right.
