One worker in ten ‘forced back into workplace’ as bosses ignore Covid guidelines, says TUC
BOSSES are blatantly ignoring official Covid guidance by forcing staff back into workplaces, a TUC poll reveals today.
Around 9 per cent of workers say they have been put under pressure to return to their workplaces, according to the union body’s survey — the number leaping to 17 per cent among disabled staff.
The poll suggests that as many as a quarter of workers are operating from offices or other workplaces despite being able to work from home.
