Isn't it interesting that "Essential Workers" have been doing this kind of work for a VERY LONG TIME, and now THEY want to do something for them!!!!!!!!!
My wife spent about 30 years as a Trauma RN in the ER, and I spent about 30 years as a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer)!!!
We both retired about 20 years ago, and the recognition we received from Congress or the public was seldom positive and certainly did not include a pay raise!!!

I don't agree. I have been classified an essential worker and feel privileged and grateful to have kept working thru this fiasco.

"But not all employers have introduced increased hazard pay, and some workers say their employers' increases are insufficient to compensate them for the added risks they face."

If that's truly the case, employment is a 2-way street in the free market. If one party does not feel they are valued enough then they have every right to find employment where they might feel they will be better compensated. If the employee was right then the employer should have a difficult time backfilling the vacant position.
