Healthcare workers (and their support staff) around the US are being called to clean up the government’s mess, without enough support from the government to properly protect ourselves and care for our patients while we do so. We are overworked and putting our lives and our families lives at risk each time we walk into work. We are lacking PPE and ventilators among other essential equipment. Many of us are not being paid anything more than our normal salary when these are not normal times! Many healthcare workers’ partners and families have lost their jobs; others are having to stay in hotels away from their families so they don’t put them at risk- all while under an incredible amount of stress every hour of every shift. Please consider signing this petition to demand the government provide healthcare workers with a payroll holiday, which would stop the collection of taxes on healthcare workers‘ paychecks temporarily while we work with the government to get this pandemic under control. Many healthcare workers have already given their lives to this cause, the least the government can do is be our partners in the fight and show financial support.
