Hazard pay for grocery store personnel during COVID19


Hazard pay for grocery store personnel during COVID19
The Issue
During this very stressful time for all of us, people that work in the grocery store industry are being considered "essential personnel". These people are working day and night to keep shelves stocked, freezers full, diary aisles flush with milk for our children and, when possible, restocking the toilet paper that many have hoarded - for some reason beyond me. While doing this work, they have been cursed at, yelled at, kept away from family, and often they make barely minimum wage. We ask that the companies that employ these people give them hazard pay It is my understanding that Target has just done that for its staff at least until May. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/target-invests-more-300-million-160000350.html Please consider signing this petition and passing it on so that these truly "essential personnel" get the wages they deserve. Thank you.
