Give iminent danger pay to all MOT and service garage employees or close garages

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Pay all employees within the motor trade iminent danger pay along with their full salary if they are still working or close all garages (including MOT) as they are at extreme risk of catching covid 19 through contact of surfaces within a customers car and dealing with customers in the reception

Because those within skilled trades (mechanics) have no support or protection during this pandemic there is no reason for mot centers and service centers (including fast fit) to be open if people can only go out for food, work and 1 form of exercise
