What the petition asks

Theres so many people I know who are undervalued,underappreciated for the work and job they do with the knowledge we are all putting our health even lives at risk, trying to provide for our families but most importantly of all paying for Bill's amongst other things scarily many are struggling.
Currently with good reason NHS staff are getting mentioned the most but other key workers don't get a mention during our daily live updates from the government or even within our national media or newspapers ect.

Supermarket stores like Morrisons or Sainsburys are giving coronavirus bonuses why can't that be to everyone in or outside of retail work recieve such bonuses, Morrisons over £1,000 bonus, Sainsburys or Aldis 10% bonuses even Tesco. Let's include everybody to say thank you.
