Consider how to compensate key workers for their efforts during Covid-19 crisis

Petition Details

The Government should consider, with a view to introducing legislation, a substantial and comprehensive set of measures – such as financial rewards, counselling, and additional leave – for key workers, as identified by the Government, to compensate them for their efforts during the Covid-19 crisis.

Additional Information

The Government are strongly encouraging the general public to "socially distance" themselves for the good of the country yet key workers are expected to continue working. These workers are putting themselves, and their families, at increased risk of contracting Covid-19. Many of these workers are likely to contract this virus, and unfortunately some of them may die. The Government should support and compensate these workers accordingly.
