... well, this takes the biscuit:

Wales will issue fines to workers who refuse to work from home without a good reason.
From Monday, employees will be handed a £60 fixed penalty notice and companies will face a £1,000 fine for each time the rule is broken, rising to a potential £10,000.
The new health protection restrictions will make it an offence for 'failing to work from home where reasonably practicable to do so'.

Has Drakeford seriously got delusions of power or what?

I am surprised this has not caused more of a stir than it has with the unions, opposition parties, TUC, the press and even the people.

Everyone is mumbling but it appears to be a done deal.

There was a time when this would have lead to a general strike and mass protests.

When the firts lockdown was in force, I was having some electrical work done in the house.
I asked the electrician why he was not working from home
He said he did not have a screwdriver long enough!!
What the order should say any office worker.
There are a lot of jobs which cannot be done from home. My bin has just been emptied--WFH?

Politicians aren't normal people.
They love telling people what to do, as this clown is showing; the pandemic has given them a chance to grant themselves even more power to order people around and they won't give it up.

That is the job of the people.

Next election.

"why did you vote for that horrible racist?"
"because, unlike you, he doesn't want to run my life 24x7".
