Fine companies for forcing workers to travel who are not key workers
During this Covid-19 pandemic, work places are still forcing their workers to travel unnecessarily often stretching the boundaries as to why they are deemed a key worker. This is irresponsible and dangerous and any company seeking to do this should be fined heavily.
It is important that everyone where possible should stay at home. If the work involved is not essential employers should be helping us fight this pandemic by allowing their employees to stay at home. Ignoring government guidelines is irresponsible and dangerous thus, they should be penalised heavily for doing so.
