80% pay for everyone made redundant and who was previously on furlough!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government's stubbornness not to extend furlough has cost me my career and that of tens of thousands of people. Made redundant through no fault of their own and with job opportunities few and far between. And yet now, it's been extended to March 21. Too late for thousands and completely unfair.
The government should extend the scheme to all those previously on furlough but now redundant and out of work. This should be paid at the same value as previously paid and for all the time the scheme is paying those luckily to be still employed.
