Unions tell civil servants to not go back to the office over ‘health and safety’ fears
UNIONS have told civil servants not to return to the office over 'health and safety' fears - despite Boris Johnson ordering them back in.
"That demand is not based on our members’ health and safety, or on helping our economy, it is based entirely on political pressure being exerted by some Tory MPs who are demanding that the civil service is used as an example to get everybody back to work. "Our advice to members is clear. If you are working from home and you get approached by anyone in your department asking you to now go back to work, don’t just accept that’s what you have to do."
Unilever, BT, and the Royal Bank of Scotland are among those who have no immediate plans to bring employees back in.
