What the petition asks
Close factories, construction sites and other non essential industries during lockdown to protect employees of these categories.
The UK government has closed all other workplaces down, but showed a blatent disregard to the health and safety of other industries employees and families.
This is also putting key workers at higher risk of infection due to sharing public transport with non essential workforces.
How has this been allowed to continue?
