Rejected petition Give employees a way to claim 80% CJRS furlough when their employers refuse to

My employer is refusing to apply for the 80% CJRS furlough payment on my behalf citing 2 reasons why not (both invalid). I (and probably thousands of others) need a system whereby they can claim in their own right.

More details

I have been paced on indefinite unpaid leave and, apart from Income Support of sorts, have no income. I stand to lose my home and everything that I have worked for over 45 years of continual employment
