'SYP urges all businesses to utilise the UK Government’s furlough scheme and to top-up their employees pay to ensure workers receive their expected take home income.’ #SYP72 motion by @SYP_Economy, passed with 81% in favour.

Workers should not be punished with less expected pay because of the pandemic. We thank everyone that voted in favour of this motion and we urge buisnesses that still have employees furloughed, to pay the remaining sum of their employees wages. -CN

Thank you to everyone that voted for this motion. We are so glad that members agree with this committee!

Congratulations to everyone that won an award from all at the committee 👏👏 Well done to every MSYP for a fantastic year. Time to do it all over again!
