Hazard Pay For Essential Workers in Rhode Island!

I am an essential worker in the state of Rhode Island, who has worked through the entire pandemic. I feel that those of us who worked through the entire pandemic were left behind and not compensated for the hazard of working during this time.

I am aware that new spending rules were issued this week that states and local governments can use their federal COVID-19 relief aid for hazard pay for essential workers.

I feel that all essential workers have a right to this pay. We continue to work as essential workers regardless of the risk posed to the health of our ourselves and our families.

Please do not leave us behind. Thank you for your time and consideration.
