ALL key workers working during this pandemic, should receive a pay rise.
There are a number of people in a number of sectors including the financial sector that are having to risk their health and/or even their lives during this COVID19 pandemic and I believe all those classed as key workers should be rewarded for their efforts trying to help the public everyday.
I believe the recognition is very well deserved. They are all going out to work during this very difficult time. The people working in these sectors really don’t get enough recognition or pay as it is and now they are having to risk their lives to work everyday to help the general public survive on a day to day basis. Not only should it be a reward it should be a well recognised continuous pay increase for doing so much and willingly coming to work everyday too. Make a change.
