Essential Workers Heroes Fund

[okfine]

Something MAY happen for those that feel like they are SO unfairly overlooked.

"The pandemic shouldn’t be dividing us, but online many of the workers deemed essential are voicing their anger and jealousy at those who are now getting unemployment and other payments. Why can’t they sit at home and collect money? Why must they now work more hours than ever, take more attitude from tense customers, and potentially be exposed to a life-threatening virus every time they go to work?"

Good question and very easy to answer. Help the ones on the front lines that are working. It's the right thing to do.

"Some workers feel they are being treated unfairly for being expected to show up to these jobs only to take home less pay than those who are sitting safely at home making unemployment. In a way, the essential workers are trapped. They can’t get unemployment if they quit, but their jobs won’t fire them so long as they’re needed. What this means is that while essential businesses are booming, their employees are receiving none of the gains while taking on most of the risk."

The more that workers feel like they are not being treated with fair compensation, the more attitude you shall get in return.

Those are just grocers. Try from burger joint staff up to medical workers, safety workers and beyond. Those grocers are still reporting huge earnings allowing a measly $2.00 p hr. increase which isn't much. The Govt. isn't, and that is the issue. The workers have that issue. Understand that.
