JLR supply chain staff told apply for universal credit, union claims

Jaguar Land Rover supply chain workers affected by cyber attack advised to apply for universal credit, leading to layoffs and reduced pay as IT networks remain shut down. Unite calls for a furlough scheme similar to that for Alexander Dennis, while JLR estimates production disruption until November, potentially costing £50m weekly. Concerns grow over impact on UK's 104,000 supply chain jobs and smaller suppliers as government is urged to intervene.
