"Not all heroes wear capes!" "We are asking these workers to take on great risk. They should be compensated for it," "These Americans are the true heroes of this pandemic, and we need to make sure they are taken care of. They are there for us, so we must be there for them."

For essential employees in health care, drug stores, grocery stores, sanitation workers, truck drivers, transportation workers and all federal employees with frontline positions, such as Postal Service workers, staying home IS NOT AN OPTION. Social distancing is NOT AN OPTION. These Americans risk their lives and the lives of their families every single day and should be taken care of!

ESSENTIAL WORKERS WOULD GET UP TO $25,000 BOOST UNDER THE NEW 'HEROES FUND STIMULUS!!

The raise would be equivalent to $13 per hour and would apply retroactively from the start of the health crisis emergency on January 27 until the end of the year. Health care workers also could receive a one-time premium of up to $15,000 as part of a program to recruit and retain certain medical employees in fields experiencing shortages.

The benefits would be applied retroactively for those already working on the frontlines and to the families of health care workers who've died as a result of coronavirus.

Essential workers not part of the health care recruitment program who earn less than $200,000 per year would receive a maximum premium pay of $25,000 while those who make more than $200,000 would get a maximum of $5,000. The extra pay would apply through December 31 or until the worker's salary-based maximum premium pay is reached.
