During this pandemic crisis, we all need to support the front line key workers

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Key workers are required to go to work and support the nation. Many of the key workers are struggling to meet their financial commitments, especially childcare. Key workers are vital in this crisis and required to work extra.
Nurseries are open to key workers but charged at normal rate. Many of us feel this is unfair when we have asked key workers to be our saviours. The government should be assisting key workers financially during this crisis.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to help keyworkers. You might like to sign this petition:

Give all key workers a 100% tax and Nat. Ins. holiday through COVID-19 crisis

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
