More details
I work in a travel industry and fear for my job. I am just one of many. I am sure that without Government's help employers will very soon either stop paying , cut our pay or make us all redundant. Companies need a lot of help to survive as eventually situation with travel around the globe will go back to normal. We need to keep it afloat !
