Motor trade continuation?

Do people think they will extend it past October for certain industries like the motor trade? It is dead so I think they will have too

    Only the beginning of June. Too soon to say what will or won't happen. Which sector of the motor trade? 
  • Why the motor trade? Garages around here have been open throughout

    The garages are open but new cars arent being built so it will be a 6 month wait at least. I sell new cars only so I cannot see how we can work until the cars are built

    Yet another one of your many threads about returning to work. Dealers have now opened. If you haven't been contacted by your employer then you probably will be very soon. If you're asked to return to work then you either do that or stay home without pay, if you stay home then you may not have a job to return to.
    There's also some dealers that are they making thousands of people redundant.

    Most dealers sell pre-order, why wait for them to be built before you sell?
