Two weeks ago we collected thousands of signatures thanking our essential workers for putting their health on the line by continuing to go to work and keep the gears of our country turning.

But John, we need to do more than just thank them. We need to take action to support them. That’s why I am introducing legislation to give hazard pay to every single one of our essential workers who are out there risking their health by commuting to their place of employment, punching the clock, and performing the services we need to keep our nation going.

If they are going to have our backs, we need to have theirs. That’s why my bill: *
Gives
high-risk
healthcare
workers
a
hazard
pay
increase
of
$18.50
an
hour
*
Gives
non-health
related
essential
workers
a
hazard
pay
increase
of
$13.00
an
hour
*
Ensures
self-employed
workers
and
contractors
(including
gig
workers!)
involved
in
essential
work
or
roles
are
also
eligible
*
Extends
these
benefits
through
the
end
of
2020

John -- I think it’s a travesty that some of our lowest paid workers are risking their health to keep this nation going -- especially because many of them are gig workers with little or no health insurance! We have to do right by these workers, which is why I am calling for hazard pay for all essential workers, including contractors and gig workers.

Yours,
Matt
