Hazard Pay for Pandemic Workers


Hazard Pay for Pandemic Workers
The Issue
I am starting a petition for ALL workers in any public setting to be paid Hazard Pay during this pandemic lockdown due to the spread of the infectious and deadly virus Covid-19.
How will we pay for this? If you are still holding a job in a public space that means you are part of a smaller labor force freeing pay that would’ve otherwise have gone to another employee, OR you are working for a business that has a high demand and high profits at this time therefore allowing a business to pay for that labor used. We are also asking for the federal government to intervene and subsidize a portion of all of hazard pay at last resort if a company can prove that they are still running the same labor force numbers without an increase in profits.
Please share on all social media platforms. Let’s get these workers the pay they deserve for putting their lives on the line to keep the average household stocked with food, electricity, water, Internet, access to healthcare, and access to essential resources.
