To Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Ministers, and MPs: :

As workers and citizens of the UK, we call on you to urgently launch a new job protection package, providing full furlough for affected workers, a real youth jobs guarantee, a regional growth fund, and a national plan for transitioning the economy to long-term, sustainable jobs for all. We're facing a jobs emergency, but it's not too late! Let's all of us, a UK-wide alliance for full employment of all regions, nations, businesses, and workers, build back better, stronger, and greener -- starting right now.

Protect UK Workers from the Covid Crisis -- Sign Now! 
Some 695,000 people have lost their jobs since Covid hit.

There are now so few job openings that in one case, 3,000 people applied for a single warehouse job.

And 6 million of us are relying on universal credit -- and yet the full furlough scheme is set to end in weeks, and millions are facing a cold, jobless winter.

It's bleak -- but it doesn't have to be like this.

A powerful new alliance of city mayors and business leaders is pushing a huge job creation and protection package -- but what it really needs is a massive public boost. This is our chance not just to protect workers, and extend the furlough scheme -- but to help create a green economy of the future.

Former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is leading the charge, and will deliver our voices to the government in days. We've seen countless government U-turns in the face of public pressure -- so let's make this something they can't ignore: Sign now and pass it on:
