Give nhs staff a payrise for all there hard work during the coronavirus pandemic

Petition Details

I think it is only fair that nhs staff have a pay increase for all there hard work and sacrifices. They are on the front line of this deadly pandemic and put themselves in danger everyday of every hour. I think they deserve to have there heroics rewarded

Additional Information

They do this knowing there is a high possibility of themselves contracting the disease and bringing it home to their loved ones. All this without the correct PPE to protect themselves. Show your support to the nhs workers.
