We know that worker health is public health—and worker health is in crisis as we face the coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, critical provisions to protect health care and other frontline workers did not make it into the coronavirus response laws enacted thus far. We need your help to fix that.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) needs to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to ensure that health care workers and other frontline workers are protected from the spread of COVID-19.
Please join us and call on Congress today and throughout the week to demand OSHA take immediate action to protect workers!
Members of Congress need to tell OSHA to issue an emergency standard requiring all employers to provide specific and necessary protections for workers.
It’s unacceptable that the federal government is failing to ensure the safety of essential workers who are most at risk, including health care workers and emergency responders; grocery, delivery, warehouse, factory, home care, transportation, and sanitation workers; and other frontline workers.
Here’s what you can do:
Tell your U.S. senators and representative to demand that Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to protect all essential frontline workers.
