Rejected petition Furlough people who lost their jobs before furlough scheme was extended.

Offer the furlough scheme to people who have recently lost their job before furlough was extended, who are either now unemployed or forced into a job that they do not like.

More details

A lot of people have lost their jobs as it was advised that there would be no more lockdowns and no more furlough extensions... therefore people have had employment terminated. This is unfair as if employers were aware of possible extensions people would have undoubtedly been kept on.
