What the petition asks
Let international students work full time during the COVID19 crisis.
A lot of international students work as frontline support workers and would like the chance to contribute their quota to overcoming this virus. Temporarily suspending the 20 hour work rule would allow for a lot more frontline staff to be available for the various essential services in the UK
