Winning a pay rise for key workers

Day in, day out key workers take care of us. And during the pandemic - they never stopped. All of our key workers need a pay rise.

When the shelves needed stocking - they were there. When hospitals were at breaking point - they were there. When children needed support and care - they were there. Throughout the pandemic they went to work and risked their lives to care for us.

Now we must support their demands for a pay rise

Hundreds of us across the country will demand that our MPs meet with key workers before the budget in March. If they agree to the meeting, key workers get a real opportunity to put pressure on the MP and either win more support for a pay rise or force MPs to explain why they don’t back it.

If they don’t agree to the meeting - that’s when we name and shame them. Being called out for ignoring key workers in the middle of a pandemic is a politicians worst nightmare, and the pressure we create will cost them votes and potentially the next election.

Whatever happens - we win. We ramp up the pressure on MPs, force them to pick a side, win more support from those we meet and embarrass those who refuse.
