More heroes and zeroes have emerged this week as the coronavirus crisis intensifies. This Friday (April 3) on our heroes and zeroes list we again celebrate the key workers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c many of them on minimum wage \u00e2\u20ac\u201c who are keeping the nation afloat. Meanwhile, zeroes continue to proliferate amid the crisis, from employers failing to take health and safety seriously to others abusing police and other essential staff.<\/p>\n

    On Thursday (April 2) night more and more people have joined in to clap and make noise for NHS staff and other essential workers at a time of crisis. This week, we hear from dock workers and firefighters expressing their gratitude in a big way.<\/p>\n

    In Scotland, firefighters at Glasgow Airport, Unite members, sent a shout out to key workers across the UK in their own special way:<\/p>\n
