"The American Rescue Plan would help ensure the solvency of many public services at a time when they are needed most,” said Becky Williams, President of SEIU District 1199 WV/KY/OH and a Vice President of the Service Employees International Union Executive Board.
“Working people and their families have bravely worked through this crisis and they have disproportionately faced economic insecurity amid the pandemic."
“Elected officials of all backgrounds have stated resoundingly that the American Rescue Plan is needed to support frontline workers, maintain vital services, and turn the tide of the pandemic,” Williams continued."

"Staffing shortages were a problem in the industry long before the pandemic, but COVID-19 exacerbated the problem. Many workers left the field, and new workers were reluctant to take their place and risk getting sick." #UnionsForAll cincinnati.com/story/news/202…
"COVID-19 made working in a nursing home one of the deadliest jobs in America, according to an analysis of federal data by Scientific American magazine."
"Being short-staffed can mean nursing home workers take on more responsibilities than they normally would and can lead to staff getting overworked. When workers get tired, they might pay less attention to infection control measures that protect themselves and residents."

Union members with the Lorain Public Library System work every day on behalf of the public. Most recently, they have been providing a new service – scheduling COVID19 vaccination appointments. #Union seiu1199.org/lorain-public-…
To date, library workers say that they have helped schedule as many as 2,000 vaccinations. Library workers are using an interface called ArmorVax to locate available appointments. The effort is just one of many services available to the public through their local library system.
The Lorain Public Library System has partnered with Lorain County Public Health to schedule appointments. Ultimately, this scheduling work by area library workers and Union members is contributing to the greater vaccination effort and saving lives.

"...when the pandemic hit, the staffing levels went from a strain to a crisis unto itself for many nursing homes." #ProtectAllWorkers #ProtectAllResidents #SafeStaffing #Union skillednursingnews.com/2021/03/staffi…
"Over and over again, the witnesses testifying in the hearing emphasized that the issue of low staffing in nursing homes predated the pandemic — a point that was also made in one of the first hearings on the impact of COVID-19 in nursing homes in 2020."
"Nurses and CNAs leave their roles for multiple reasons, Ramos testified. But the short staffing conditions tend to feed into that turnover, because it creates an unsustainable workload, alongside low wages that necessitate multiple jobs."
