Corona Virus Update 4/27

Tomorrow is Workers Memorial Day, the day we remember those who have been injured or died on the job, or from exposure on the job. It is also the 50th anniversary of the formation of OSHA, who’s job it is to protect the safety of workers.
OSHA’s response in this pandemic has been disappointing. Tomorrow AFT will have a coordinated action of filing OSHA complaints. We expect to file 37 complaints in 11 states. In Connecticut we will file 3 to go along with 2 that were filed recently. There will be a social media push on keeping workers safe. Please participate and use the hashtag #DoYourJobOSHA

We are 51 days from our first diagnosed case of Covid-19 in Connecticut.
1758 are currently hospitalized, down 8 from yesterday
1998 has died, up 74



This may be of help to your members



Be well,
John
