Rejected petition Pay keyworkers more money (danger money)
Rejected on
Pay all those that are still having to work more money. All those that have been furloughed are continuing to get paid for not working so why not pay those that are still working more money as a bonus.
People have been furloughed since last March being paid not having to work yet all those that are continuing to work get no appreciation for the danger they are in.
All our keyworkers and not just the NHS who continue to put themselves and they’re family at risk need to be shown some gratitude.
Why should the people who are at home safe be paid not to work and our hard working supermarket staff, retail staff, delivery men, bin men (the list goes on) not be paid extra for putting themselves at risk
