At some point the effect of the recession needs to be separated from the effect of the pandemic, even if one lead to the other.

I don’t believe you can stand down employees simply due to a lack of demand. However it will almost certainly be decided in court one day.
They can basically do whatever they want,remember 1 thing,they are never wrong.
When it suits,the customers are wrong,their employees are wrong,the unions are wrong,the govt is wrong & on it goes.
They are right fighters,doesnt matter how much it costs to prove it,they have to be right.
So glad im no longer in the industry.
