Extend the furlough scheme for all the furlough workers till the next year 2021.

We call on the Government to keep furlough scheme going beyond October. There is news of the second corona wave and a lockdown. It will be very difficult for furlough workers to survive if they have been made redundant.

You may wish to sign this petition instead: Extend the furlough scheme at 80% until at least December 2020
