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.
