Workers in insecure jobs twice as likely to die of Covid, TUC research finds

Workers in insecure jobs twice as likely to die of Covid, TUC research finds Richard Partington Economics correspondent © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Christopher Thomond/the Guardian Workers on zero-hours contracts and other insecure jobs are twice as likely to have died of Covid-19 as those in other professions, according to a report revealing stark inequalities in the workplace. The research from the Trades Union Congress in England and Wales showed those on the frontline of the pandemic, such as care workers, nurses and delivery drivers, were at a higher risk of death. It said many of these key workers were in insecure work, such as zero-hours contracts and agency employment, landing them with a “triple whammy” of no sick pay, fewer rights and endemic low pay, while having to shoulder more risk of infection.

The TUCP believes that the Chinese presence is “an encroachment both of the territorial integrity of the Philippines and a denigration of national sovereignty.” “With these senior officials of government, we cannot, as an independent, self-respecting people, allow this brazen effrontery and continuing Chinese incursion into the Philippines, to remain unmet and unchallenged,” the group said.

Unions demand sharp rise in sick pay for Covid self-isolation

The Labour MP Nadia Whittome also raised concerns on Friday about levels of sick pay, citing a government study suggesting infection rates were falling more slowly in poorer areas where people were less likely to be able to afford self-isolation. “More testing won’t work unless people self-isolate when they need to – and many simply require proper financial support to do so,” she wrote in The House magazine. “At the very least, statutory sick pay should be raised to the equivalent of a week’s living wage … Without action, the current situation threatens public health, undermines the progress we have made and makes ending this pandemic harder.”
