Some have fallen ill and died following these attacks, with many of the people behind them fined or jailed. "Devastated" general secretary Manuel Cortes said they want compensation offered to all frontline workers' families, adding: "Sadly, Belly's is just one of many family tragedies where children have had their parents taken away from them. However, there are serious questions about her death; it wasn't inevitable.
"Rather than talking about the easing the lockdown, the government must first ensure that the right precautions and protections have been taken so that more lives are not lost."Our rail industry needs to have a very serious look at what tasks are deemed 'essential' and must put protections in place for all our members and our passengers."Men working in the lowest skilled jobs had the highest rate of death involving Covid-19, according to the Office for National Statistics.
