What the petition asks

Throughout the Covid-19 crisis, care workers and hospital staff have devoted their lives to the support and care of affected patients, saving countless lives.
They should be given a pay rise too. They've earnt it!
If it wasn't for the care and hospital services infrastructure in the UK, thousands of innocent people would have died from Covid-19. It's time to recognise their efforts as well as police officers and teachers.
Care workers and hospital staff have worked day and night to keep us safe.
Do what is morally right and let them enjoy this reward. They more than deserve it.
