INCREASE PAY FOR KEY WORKER DURING COVID-19

Petition Details

We want to get increase pay for all key workers regardless of whether we are self-employed or work in a large company. In this difficult time, we are also in a high risk group. We also want to be appreciated as NHS .

Additional Information

We are also doing hard work, without which the country could not sleep. Lots of food factories, lots of companies supplying stores, we live in times when no one appreciates such work. That's why we want to be treated like the NHS
