Union calls for a furlough scheme for JLR staff - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Workers in the JLR supply chain must not be made to pay the price for the cyberattack. It is the government's responsibility to protect jobs and industries that are a vital part of the economy. Ministers should take the lead from the Scottish government's support package for Alexander Dennis staff and implement a similar scheme for workers in the JLR supply chain now."
"Unite union has called for a furlough scheme for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) staff who have been affected by the cyberattack. The union said their members have been laid off work with either reduced or no pay and some are being advised to sign up for universal credit."
Unite has called for a furlough scheme for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) staff affected by a cyberattack. Many supply-chain workers have been laid off or placed on reduced pay, and some are being advised to apply for universal credit. The union demands financial protection for those workers to prevent them from bearing the cost of the cyberattack. The union urges the government to protect jobs and industries vital to the economy and recommends adopting a support package similar to the Scottish government’s aid provided to Alexander Dennis staff.
