  • UK gov't launches new job protection program to replace furlough scheme

    London, Sep 24 (EFE), (Camera: Will Oliver).- The UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer unveiled the government’s new job protection program which is to replace the furlough scheme first announced at the end of March. Under the new scheme, which is to come into effect for six months at the end of October, the government will pay a third of the wages for hours not worked by an employee while the company will cover 22 percent of the salaries for workers who have seen their hours reduced as a result of the pandemic. Under the original furlough scheme, the government paid 80 percent of the salaries for people in that category. FOOTAGE OF LONDON.

  • Amid the coronavirus pandemic, British farms must turn to local workers for fruit picking

    Maidstone (UK), 22 June, EFE/EPA, (Camera: Neil Hall).- A growing number of British workers are turning their hand to fruit and vegetable picking amid a national campaign to salvage a summer harvest jeopardized by coronavirus travel restrictions. Widely-regarded as a strenuous job, with early starts and the ever-unpredictable British weather, manual fruit and vegetable harvesting has in recent years been dominated by migrant workers, many of whom travel from Eastern Europe to work on a seasonal basis. With only a third of those workers expected to make it over this year, the UK government has actively encouraged students and furloughed workers to fill the vacancies.FOOTAGE OF RASPBERRY PICKING IN THE UK AND STATEMENTS BY STEPHEN TAYLOR, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF WINTERWOOD FARMS, AMELIA RAWSTONE, STUDENT AND TEMPORARY WORKER AT THE FARM AND BECKY PAVEY, PHYSIOTHERAPIST AND FARM WORKER
