ESSENTIAL WORKERS (ALL) TO GET AN EXTRA 25% RISK PAY FROM GOVERNMENT
Insight of the current Covid19, everyone with non essential jobs is to lock down, still getting a part of their wages.
Essential workers do not have that luxury, and are indeed working extra shifts with a higher risk. It's only fair they get a subsidy for that risk as a token of appreciation.
The Government and the Parliament have the powers to pass laws to approve that small gesture of appreciation.
We see people getting bonus and rewards all the time, although I completely agree in supporting those in lockdown, we need to reward those that cannot, are exhausted and are true heroes. We will be in utter chaos without them.
