What the petition asks
I think every key worker that has worked through and during the covid-19 should get some sort of bonus or hazard pay for risking theirs and their families lives by going out to work through it
Because everyone deserves some sort of appreciation pay for keeping the business going through the pandemic. People get danger pay in certain jobs so i think everyone should be getting hazard pay for working through this. Especially with it being such a serious virus
