UK Bank Holidays which have occurred during the Covid-19 crisis be replicated
I would like the UK government to consider these proposals and re-implement bank holidays consecutively. Although it might not assist all our key workers. It would help so many with the help they deserve. This could equate to extra leave, overtime and give people a break they definitely deserve.
My relatives work in a number of key sectors and I hope this will help give them some help. This might not equate to time off but I hope this would give them some extra assistance. This could include overtime, extra pay or even some cherished time to spend with their familes. For everyone else; this might result in reconnecting with families. Catching up with friends. Or just sitting back, relaxing and celebrating that we all got through these difficult times together.
