Cash bonus and 2 weeks paid holiday to all essential workers after corona virus
The government to pay a cash bonus AND give an extra 2 weeks paid holiday (once this crisis is over) to ALL health. emergency, education , retail and other essential workers who continue to face the public every day putting themselves at risk.
Nearly all essential workers are not paid the wage to represent that they are essential for the country. They are putting their health and families at risk as they need to work during a very distressing time and I think they should be compensated for their outstanding effort.To continue to provide care to patients in hospital despite the high risk of catching the virus, the police officers and fire fighters who risk their lives, teachers providing skype lessons, home learning packs and teaching.
