Make it mandatory for agencies to apply for Furlough for their Temporary workers

Petition Details

People who works under agencies on temporary have been left out on furlough, can not receive 80% wage support,Because of agencies refusal to furlough their temporary workers.This unfair treatment affects mainly people from Ethnic minorities Population & Immigrates.Therefore among to Discrimination.

Additional Information

I strongly believe that Employers should not be giving right to choose not to furlough their Workers, because this furlough was put in place to support all workers that met government requirements for furlough.
I also believe that some (temporary) Have been unfairly treated, or in some cases discriminated by their Employers simply because they are Temporary Workers.
I believe that government have done a lot to help, but should do more to close loopholes used to discriminate temporary workers.
