Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update
Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update
Last Friday, we won.
The Chancellor announced that the government will pay 80% of the wages of employees unable to work because of the coronavirus.
We are glad that the government is listening to the trade union movement. But there is still a lot of uncertainty for workers and their families.
Now more than ever, reps are vital to supporting workers. That’s why, tomorrow, we’re answering your questions on coronavirus at work.
Join us at 2pm Tuesday 24th March for our next webinar and get all the information you need.
This week, we’re joined by:
Sian Elliott, Women’s Equality Policy Officer
Shelly Asquith, Health and Safety Officer
Tim Sharp, Senior Employment Rights Officer
And our host, Anna Kalsi, E-Learning Support Officer
If you’re a union representative, you’re entitled to paid release from work to take part in this webinar. Talk to your employer.
