Nov 15,2023 7:31 am

"We don't have the feeling that the conditions we work under are safe, we were not given any protection from the Post Office . No hand-sanitizer, gloves, no aprons or anything, we had to the source itself. "

Jay Patel, 37, and his wife, Nilam, you run a branch Post Office in Bournemouth and as "essential dealers" are to stay open to serve their community.

But you are among many workers in the UK complain that they are not adequately protected against is the coronavirus, in the midst of a lack of clarity from the government.

The government has said, who can not do their work-from-home should continue to go to work, as long as their employers, Public Health England, follows safety guidelines.

Many companies do not know whether they remain open or to close", is Fairbairn, The Director -General of the CBI business organisation, Carolyn, said.

The Business Committee said it got More Than 1,000 E-Mails from employees who said they should not go to work, but to talk to a lot of fear, out of fear that they would lose their jobs.

"From The Evidence we have received, it is clear that many companies still do The Right things," said Rachel Reeves , Chairman of The Committee .

says The Post is among a small group of "essential retailers", the government, are allowed to remain open, while the Corona-Virus outbreak.

But, from construction workers to front-line store employees, many have expressed anger at made, in order to continue to do the work, you feel insignificant or insecure.

On Wednesday, the staff at the Bicycle repair chain Halfords an online petition started after The Chain has vowed to keep open shops, but was accused of insufficient security measures in place.

bike shops are classified as the key

Mr Patel says, many customers are still bought with his post for the non-essential activities, such as the return of clothing online.

And while The Post -Office, for which he works as a franchisee, have Him say £50, in the direction of safety elements in The End , it came Too Late , when everything had been sold. The Company also said to Him that he could not refuse any transaction that is also unimportant.

"It means that we have the handling packages, we should not come in close contact with The Public , as well as doing the essential things like the people, the benefits, the treatment of contaminated banknotes," Mr Patel says.

"I don't tell the customer to come to, unless you have to keep two meters away from each other, but The Message is not coming through. It is putting is life in danger. "

A Post Office spokesman said its branches provided, will be sent to an important lifeline for the Bank's services as well as packages and letters during the outbreak. He also said that many post make floor markings and other information that can help posters, clients, apart, stay two meters, and additional safety measures will be offered.

is Not important?

But James, who works in The Factory in London, which makes high-end components, says his company is sticking to The Rules .

"There is not only a common hand sanitizer, I have My Own , but a lot of people. The canteen is often busy, it's apart there is no way people are two-meters. Also on The Shop floor-we cross each other's paths. No One is wearing masks. "

He also believes that, while some of the, what could be The Factory , are not considered to be significant, the majority of it is, but his boss is reluctant to scale back the 30-employee strong workforce.

This is despite the fact that the government has agreed to pay 80% of the payrolled employees, up to € 2,500 per month, if you are furloughed.

"people are worried, but the managers say they follow government guidelines, that the manufacturing can remain open. I think they are worried they will lose business and other factories will remain open.

"The government, it would be much easier if it just stopped, all non-essential production. "

staff payrises

in recognition of the concerns that retailers like Next and Amazon offered some of the employees have to hold wage increases to on-site work or overtime.

Next, the High Street stores are all closed now, said, there are some items in the shops, which had already been ordered and were promised to the customer, so that a small group of volunteers will select, under the "strict supervision and social distance rules".

But, some of the workers, matters in their own hands.

Jane, who works as a PA in the construction company, told The Bbc that wants to from Monday of This Week , and other administrative personnel, ranging from home to work against The Company .

"is thrilled, My Boss in particular, and thinks I should still means travelling in London by Public Transport . The construction sites are still open," She Said .

"I threatened to pay with statutory sick, if I come with you to The Office , but I want to follow government guidelines, and I also I Live With someone who has a disease, making you a High Risk . The Company are currently released on the search in the case of dismissal of staff or personnel. "

A government spokesman said: "We have been clear that the employer must make every effort to help people work from home. "

"We call for the employer listening to the concerns of the employees and take social responsibility to make informed decisions. "
