GMB, Britain’s General Union, has hit back at Local government minister Simon Clarke’s suggestion workers rely on employers taking a "sensible and compassionate" approach to self-isolation.
John Phillips, GMB Acting General Secretary, said:
"Holiday-makers already feel distressed and anxious as a result of chopping and changing Government advice, which has unleashed untold chaos on people’s lives.
“British travellers have been left up the creek without a paddle by muddled ministers.
“For them to now suggest workers left in limbo can rely on employers' goodwill alone to keep their jobs will be scant reassurance. “
