What the petition asks
Would like the government to reward the nhs and key worker’s with a wage rise from the government that they deserve
The NHS has been stretched to its maximum with inadequate PPE and long hours and the fear of death on there shoulders to save lives. Even the prime minister.
Other keyworkers are manning the essential shops that provide the food shops etc so you have food on the table etc
