Key workers to get an incentive to carry on going to work during this pandemic
We want an incentive to keep on working during this pandemic being classed as key workers or will we go on strike because non key workers get 80% of wages for doing nothing but we have to go to work and dont get anything apart from the risk of contracting this deadly virus
Why should we as key workers risk our lives to continue working during this pandemic when every non key worker gets 80% to sit on their ass at home all day. If we do not get a form of incentive to carry on working during this pandemic we will refuse to work as key workers and risk our lives to this deadly virus if the government does not help keep us motivated to keep the country running. It is not fair we have to risk our lives when everyone else get 80% of their wages to not work as non key workers.
