  • Senate Democrats propose $25k coronavirus hazard pay for essential workers

    Senate Democrats are proposing giving hazard pay of up to $25,000 to essential workers, including grocery store employees, transit workers and truck drivers, on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Well someone is thinking about the people on the front lines and the fact that you are putting your life on the line everyday while at work.

    It would sure be nice to see a little more scratch head our way instead of putting it in the pockets of those that have failed to protect the front line workers.

      All the local supermarkets are hiring.. Maybe they could offer a $25,000 signing bonus.. But all kidding aside I agree that all these essential workers should be compensated.. But sadly when this is over it will be back to normal..Truckers will be SOB's, Cashiers will be dumb,nurses and doctors will just be overpaid people.. And the list goes on..

        Probably the largest problem will be who exactly are the essential workers????? Every state government has different guide lines about who or what is essential or non essential.The clown in charge here in NY,closed all golf courses and boat launches, yet wally-world is open with people arm to arm and yes are the cashiers essential ???
        Never going to be a happy medium.

            Golf courses? I know they are not essential but for some they can be good exercise..And very seldom will you see players within six feet of another...

              Food stores absolutely need to be open, but certain activities that dont draw crowds should be left to be choice and let some businesses still make money.At this point in NY it seems to be getting too political ,with less emphasis on doing the right thing for all involved.

                  Your absolutely right, all its going to do is make another arguing point.In the neighboring county to where i live they have a phone number now for people to report other people working on projects that one person may believe isn't allowed, a tattle-tale scenario that doesnt help anybody.

                      To your point, we have a neighbor lady that operates a daycare from her home. Still up and running. No means NO!
