Get a pay rise for all NHS staff.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The self employed, businesses and workers have been promised 80% of their pay to stay at home. Whilst we have doctors and nurses etc who are working and putting their lives at risk to keep us alive... no pay rise for them!! ??
I would like to see this not just being discussed in parliament but I would like action to be taken! They deserve a pay rise and it should NOT take coronavirus and a world pandemic to realise how much work our nhs does.
