Provide a thank you bonus for key workers carrying on regardless of the risk

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

To provide compensation for the risk key workers are undertaking to keep the country going.

I am a dustcart driver playing my part to keep our service going. All of my colleagues are worried and scared of the risk that we are facing on a daily basis. All frontline key workers are taking a huge risk in order to keep the country going and are scared. We should be shown gratitude for this so I'm requesting that keyworkers receive a bonus of 10%
