Increase of Pay for Essential Workers
Please increase the Pay of Essential Workers. Essential workers have been working hard and nonstop since the start of COVID-19, with no changes or increases to their normal pay. By receiving a significant amount of signatures on this petition, my goal is to have this huge mistake, fixed.
Why is this important?
Over the past nine weeks, 38 millions of American workers who have been laid off are receiving double or even TRIPLE of what those are working hard and even risking their lives to make sure everyone else is safe. If essential workers are ESSENTIAL, then we should be treated as so. By signing this petition the goal is to receive the backtracked amount of money that has been given out to those who are unemployment. Essential workers such as teachers, doctors, FDNY ,etc. Please sign this petition and ensure the financial security that essential workers need.
