Fine businesses that have put profit before staff wellbeing during COVID-19
Fine non essential businesses who have made a decision to stay open during COVID-19 not only put the welfare of their staff at risk but also their families.
Challenge the decisions made by Sports Direct and other businesses on their treatment of staff during this time. If they have made profit and are staying open, or if they are refusing to pay staff or 'furlough' them during this time.
