Closed Reduce ministerial salaries by 20% in solidarity with furloughed workers

Closed on

The New Zealand Government have taken a 20% pay cut in solidarity with people who have been affected by COVID-19. The UK government has introduced a furlough scheme in which the government will pay 80% of an employees wages up to £2500pm. Its up to the individual companies if they pay the other 20%

Not all companies made up the 20% shortfall.

In solidarity with these workers, I propose that government ministers also take a 20% pay cut.
