The health of the public is at the forefront of everyone’s concern and rightly so, however people cannot just continue to loose jobs because of this.
Over 1 million jobs cannot be lost due to coronavirus in the nightclub industry.
We need clarity and support as we are still unable to reopen.
Everyone wants to work with the government and protect those around them but we need help in return, a continuation of job losses is not an option.
Job protection for hospitality industry is essential.
