All government departments closed for corona virus. Have to take unpaid leave
Stop wages to all closed goverment departments. Teachers, civil servants, Etc. If these employees are at home and not doing the job they are paid for. Not every employed person has the luxury of working for a government department. This would reduce the wages bill supporting the working population.
The working class are being asked to take unpaid leave. Due to the lack of business, with worries over the corona virus. When civil servants, teachers and the like are not at there post, doing the job they are paid for working out taxes, or teaching when they should be. The workers in the travel industry, hair dressers, high street etc. Are being sent home without wages, to protect businesses. Government employees should be forced into the same situation, and, not be paid.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Since you started this petition, the Government has committed to pay up to 80% of workers' wages. We're not sure whether you would like public sector employees to be specifically excluded from this scheme. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what action you would like the Government to take.
