What the petition asks
Many people have been told to shield but their employers refuse to furlough them, and they might not be able to afford to go on Statutory Sick Pay, or be entitled to any benefit.
Let’s protect our most vulnerable and let them Shield and stay safe! Allowing out must vulnerable to stay safe during this pandemic is so important. Employers should be required to furlough clinically extremely vulnerable workers who are shielding.
Help keep our vulnerable safe without the added financial worries.
