Rejected petition Agencies to pay furlough to school supply staff

There are thousands of school supply workers whom have been refused furlough from their agencies. School supply staff have helped keep schools open from September to December.
Now all school supply staff are looking at at least 7 weeks without pay. This is based on schools reopening in February.

More details

The agency's are not listening to their staff pleading to be furloughed. Reasons being that they can't afford to pay NI and pensions.
This has been introduced by the government and needs rectifying before thousands are forced into poverty.
