Amend the ruling to include all hard working citizens no matter their start date

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We must protect our hard working citizens and introduce 80% wages assistance to all that are in employment no matter their start date. It is not fair to leave people who pay taxes and have worked for years out due to a job change in this unforeseen crisis.

Extend the assistance to all workers.
