Closed Ban employers dismissing people for non-attendance during COVID-19 outbreak

Closed on

People are scared to go for work for their safety and their family’s safety. During the outbreak employers shouldn’t be able to fire anyone who stays at home on unpaid leave.

In some workplaces it’s impossible to have social distancing or prevent people coming into workplaces who are unknowingly ill.
