Key workers to have a pay increase/wage bonus during this difficult time.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Key workers are at a high risk of catching the virus and high risk of taking it back home and infecting others. Key workers such as nhs, retail,delivery drivers,warehouse workers etc should have a pay increase during this difficult time.

Key worker's are on the front-line and are most at risk at catching the virus and also passing it on. We're working harder than ever before and a pay increase would give us that extra boost we deserve. Even for example having an extra bonus percentage to our wages slip.
