Today, 700 Black and brown nursing home workers from 11 Infinity nursing home facilities, where 160 workers and residents have died from COVID, are going on strike. The workers are demanding hazard pay, adequate staffing, PPE, and a living wage so that workers are not forced to
work multiple jobs and risk spreading the virus. Though Infinity Nursing Homes received almost $13 Million in COVID funding, management has refused to prioritize patient care and workers before profits. These workers are standing up for themselves and saying enough is enough!
There are many strike locations in the city and suburbs. Join workers on the picket lines at any of these locations: seiuhcilin.org/infinity-nursi… #StrikeForOurLives

⏰ Now is the time to question everything - Day 4 ⏰

1/3 Sadly, fed regulatory agencies, courts, safety analysts & more have monetized the value of a life. Agency values, around $10M. Now, 53,931 Americans are dead fm #COVID. Crudely put, a $549B loss.
#LiberateAmerica my ass.
2/3 As a #veteran, it's no surprise to me the value of a service member who dies on active duty is unconscionably low--$100K. The Death Gratuity aka a "tip" is given to next of kin.

Survivors of dead vets get a $300-$2,000 Burial Benefit.

Thank you for your service, my ass.
3/3 I'd like to think my family and friends would say I am priceless.
