Can I request Furlough

2 Posts

Hi, my wife is 27 weeks pregnant and I’m scared of going into work and possibly catching virus and bringing it home with me. My work knows this but have not done anything to accommodate or help. I’m a machinist so can’t work from home, they have marked out tape areas around machines but we still have to share toilets, canteen, tooling, inspection equipment, computers. Union told them to close immediately and they refused. I wanted to know if I can request furlough in my situation so I don’t have to go in or is it only if the company closes to everyone?
Thanks
Thanks

They could just put one person on furlough, they don't have to close completely.
This is the first time in 35 years of being out of work
