Self employed / agency staff to received a wage during COVID-19
Anyone that is self employed or works as agency staff should be able to get a wage during this time.
We also have families to support and bills to pay and we cannot do this if we are not recieving a wage. Bill's have not been frozen and we still have living costs.
