Rejected petition Give a pay rise to all key workers working during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Give a pay rise to all key workers who are working during the Covid-19 pandemic. They should be given more than just a thank you and a clap every week for risking their lives.
More details
Key workers are putting their lives at risk every time they go to work and most are earning minimum wage for doing so. Key workers are constantly put into dangerous situations and are under appreciated for all they do.
