What the petition asks
Give key workers extra pay for the risks they are taking. They face hundreds of people daily, which gives them greater risk of catching the virus. (key workers include retail workers, teachers, NHS staff, and other public services).
It is impossible for 'key workers' to participate in 'social distancing' because they have a duty to serving the British public, especially in these times of need.
Key workers are at incredible risk and should be entitled to extra pay.
