Protect Workers from COVID-19 Exposure An emergency temporary standard is needed to protect workers from the COVID-19 pandemic. Tell your representative to support H.R. 6559, The COVID-19 Every Worker Protection Act of 2020.

Tell Congress to act now to save it. Prevent Workplace Violence The House of Representatives passed a bill that would provide urgently needed protections for health care and social services workers. Now it's time for the Senate to act. Tell your senator to support an OSHA workplace violence standard.Every worker deserves the right to bargain over their salary and working conditions.
