Construction Company Closures due to Corona Virus - Immediate Effect
The purpose of this petition is for the Government to take action, to close down all Construction Sites / Businesses imminently, providing them with financial support to be able to be at home in isolation - to even be provided with the same 80% package which has been afforded to others.
The Gov needs to take the health and safety of our construction workers seriously as the Scottish Gov has and send them home.
Family members who are most vulnerable are essentially being "forced" to work as they cannot risk the financial burden of not working, whilst companies continue business as normal.
It is STILL deemed "safe" for Construction workers to remain on site, so long as they are 2m apart. This is unacceptable and not doable. Health and Well-being must be the priority.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
