Today, we join @AFLCIO, @AFTunion, @AFSCME, @nynurses, and @PennaNurses to petition a federal court to order @OSHA_DOL to issue a permanent standard that requires employers to #ProtectNurses and other health care workers against Covid-19. nationalnursesunited.org/press/afl-cio-…
The @USDOL has failed to make permanent the emergency temporary standard on Covid-19 that took effect June 21, 2021.
Without the protections of a permanent standard, the health and well-being of nurses, other health care workers, patients, and the public is in grave danger.
Without the protections of a permanent standard, the health and well-being of nurses, other health care workers, patients, and the public is in grave danger.
The danger that led to issuance of the emergency temporary standard not only remains, but has dramatically increased with the #Omicron variant and current surge in infections and hospitalizations.
The refusal of @OSHA_DOL to issue a national, permanent, enforceable standard requiring employers to protect workers in health care settings is an extremely dangerous breach of its duties.
It is past time for @OSHA_DOL to issue a permanent standard and #ProtectNurses and health care workers who are on the front lines working to save the lives of others!
