Hazard Pay For Frontline Workers
$25000 for each Frontline worker
Why is this important?
We put our lives and our families lives at risk with minimal protection. When we were asked to wear the same dirty N95 mask for a week. Instead of quitting we showed up. We did not have to risk our lives and we did. Even after our colleagues have fallen ill or dying we kept showing up to fight this deadly disease. When our coworkers are unable to obtain worker’s compensation due to contracting COVID we still showed up. We could of walked away anytime and gotten another job when this pandemic was over and we STAYED.

Some facilities withhold funds and not pay frontline workers. Tired of seeing big corporations receiving bailout and not passing it along to individuals. If there is hazard pay the monies should be given directly to frontline workers.
