Give all NHS staff a rise and an extra holiday after coronavirus
Rejected

What the petition asks
After the horror story of coronavirus ends, whenever that will be, I believe our health care workers deserve a significant pay rise and an extra two weeks paid holiday to help them get some peace and rest that each and every one of them deserves.
Our heroes worked tirelessly, in the most horrific conditions, battling this coronavirus, putting their lives, and the lives of their families at risk.
The fear they face, they battle on with smiles on their faces but tears in their eyes because they care.
After this horror story, don't they deserve the very best. A decent pay rise and more importantly a holiday, so that they can rebuild their family units. Family time with children and loved ones. Many NHS staff feared that they would contract this awful disease, but still they went about their duties.
