What the petition asks
Key workers should have their pay temporarily topped up by the government whilst the coronavirus pandemic continues.
Key workers are risking their health, and that of their families, to help others and keep our country going. Many key workers are on minimum wage or low incomes, but are providing our country with invaluable services. They should be rewarded for their sacrifice, which in turn will encourage them to keep working and providing the services which are vital for our country.
