Rejected petition Stop companies cut hours and make people redundant during COVID-19 crisis
Rejected on
Don't allow companies to cut hours for employees just to save profit. Give people their full salaries as our expenses won't change just because of this crisis. Why should we suffer and have stress added on to our lives or have to rely on loans or credit cards?
I live in a rented accommodation and without my full salary I won't be able to pay my rent and bills. My expenses will stay the same I don't want to have to get a loan just to get by. People shouldn't beforced build up debts just so our employers can keep their profit. People on benefits won't have to face with this so why should we working people?
