New template lockdown agreement

Unite is offering new tools to help workers during the pandemic. One is a template lockdown agreement that reps and negotiators can adapt to suit their circumstances. The draft collective agreement includes clauses on the three major changes that are now being introduced:

• temporary home working;

• temporary lay-off period (furloughing); and

• essential work.

It is available in MS Word format so it is easy to edit and available to all.
