• Guess representing the businesses not the workers sadly.

    At the moment, they are one and the same thing.

    I run a small hospitality / events business. The panic surrounding Coronavirus has, to all intents and purposes, shut down our business.

    For the moment, all of the staff are getting paid, but we will, at some point very soon, run out of cash.

    Our industry is also choc full of people who work as 'Freelancers' - there is simply no work for them, and won't be until the winter. A hell of a lot of people won't be able to pay their rent this month, never mind panic buying fucking toilet paper.

  • This will be a huge challenge. I really do wish you all the best. I myself am worried and in a fairly safe job.

    I’m not sure how temporary redundancies would help both employers and employees? I’d be interested in your opinion.
