Make today (the 26th of March 2020) National Key-Workers Day.
Everyday, millions of Britons continue to go to work to keep our country running. From NHS staff, to delivery drivers and supermarket staff, without these incredible selfless people, many more would suffer.
The government has previously called these people 'low-skilled' workers and to prove to the nation that they see how vital they are, they should create a day to commend their hard work.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you want the Government to acknowledge the role of the NHS, but it's not clear exactly what you want the Government to do. The Government is not responsible for designating "national days".
We have started a petition calling on the Government to create a new Bank Holiday in to thank those who helped during the Covid-19 crisis, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/303882
We have also started a petition calling on the Government to award Covid-19 medals to all emergency services and involved armed forces, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302613
