AS WE head into a second lockdown in England and restrictions continue to affect all of the UK nations, it is crucial that low-paid workers do not pay the price of fighting this appalling pandemic.
The second spike in Covid-19 infections, resulting in pressure on the NHS and a deeply distressing increase in deaths means we understand why governments are imposing restrictions, but they must be implemented fairly.
Many low-paid workers, particularly in non-essential retail, face a double whammy of reduced income and greater job insecurity. Low-paid workers cannot afford to pay the price of another national lockdown.
