The federal government said they would give a $4 top up pay to all health care workers during the covid 19 pandemic. However, it was just announced that this hazard pay would only being given to government workers. Therefore, private care workers that are doing the exact same job are not entitled to the federal top up. I beleive this is an injustice that should be recognized and rectified. I ask everyone who sees the injustice in this to sign this petition it should be equal to all workers that are taking the same risk and doing the same job.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this cause. It was never my intention to lead something this large but seeing your collective resolve makes me realize how important this fairness truly is to all of you.

It's descrimination we get punish because our residents choose to pay for private care but it we do the same job has those workers who choose to work in Non Private homes and they are funded beds The only reason why we received the raise because it came from the federal government not the provinal government

Signing because I am a private caregiver taking care of a dementia client in a private home. We deserve this as we also worked the whole time during the pandemic.

I’m a health care worker too and it is not fair that only the government health care worker can get the top up $4.We worked hard and risk our lives including our families when the pandemic crisis started.

Wages should be same across the province. Should be no discrimination nor for greedy private facility owners and lessen our need to work in multi facilities.
