Put a permanent stop to Tier 2 visas for migrant workers

What the petition asks
The Government should put a permanent stop on Tier 2 visas for migrant workers to encourage employment of UK workers instead
Latest figures show that the Government has allocated and used 7000 work visas EVERY MONTH in 2020 whilst at the same time tens of thousands of UK workers have lost their jobs. I personally know of workers who lost their jobs and who have been replaced by Tier 2 visa workers.
