Compensate all Key Workers for working throughout Covid-19 period

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Compensate all the key workers who we've been working and risking their own and families life by not giving equal opportunities to be able to isolate at home compared to non-essential employees who we've been given the opportunity to stay at home and get payed for the 80% of their salary

All employees should be treated the same and given the same opportunities regardless of their job role. Key workers didn't get any compensation for working all along the Covid-19 period and risking their own and their family's life. This is not equal and not fair on the people who've been working and non-essential employees can afford to stay at home and isolate as well as getting payed 80% of their salary as well as 20% from their employers etc.

Why it was rejected
