MOTION, (AMENDED) submitted by Councilmember Landsman, Many of our frontline workers receive some of the lowest wages. They have shown up to work every day during this pandemic, and WE MOVE that the Administration pursue a lump-sum payment of no less than $1,000 in "Hazard Pay" for these lower-wage, critical frontline workers who deliver core services that citizens depend on from their city government. *We ask that the Administration prioritize City employees who are unable to work from home and deliver core services that our residents depend on; many of these workers are represented by AFSCME, or the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and fills roles such as our nurses and sanitation workers. AFSCME employees are paid, on average, less than most other City staff, and are at high risk of infecting COVID-19.*
