What the petition asks
Non Essential Construction should be reviewed and closed. Thousands are being forced to travel, exposing themselves and their families to COVID-19.
Non Essential Construction work should be closed to protect workers from being exposed to the and/or having to use public transport. Support should be provided for those who are self employed to ensure their jobs are safe and they are paid. Government need to review the rules regarding lockdown and keep all work that is essential only! Construction should only be essential if it involves establishments providing care during the COVID-19 pandemic!
