THE COVID19 CRISIS & PHEW
Right now all of us are focused on the urgent need of this moment to ensure the health, safety and security of our members and their colleagues, our families and our communities. Visit our Covid-19 Resources page now for more information.
As public, healthcare and education workers, most of us are on the frontlines of the coronavirus emergency--especially our direct healthcare workers in hospitals in New York to Nevada, to nursing home workers in Tennessee and Iowa, and everyone in between. It’s also our social workers, our utility workers, our paraprofessionals, and so many more in our sector who are showing up each day in this crisis and giving their all to make sure our safety net is in place, and our public services are working.
That's why we're also fighting for meaningful investments in our members and the services we provide. The COVID19 crisis has morphed into something much bigger than just a public health crisis: it's become an economic and political crisis, too. It's time to re-invest in and in so many ways re-build our public services in this country - for every working family and every community.
