The NY HERO Act (S1034) passed the @NYSenate Labor Committee! We are a step closer to providing the urgently needed protections to fight the COVID second wave.
The vaccine alone won't save New York. Frontline and essential workers need protections now! #ProtectNYHeroes
BREAKING: NYS Senate Labor Committee passes the NY HERO Act (S1034)! This critical bill will ensure New Yorkers have protections and a voice in the workplace to fight this pandemic and whatever comes next. #protectnyheroes

First step when applying to the #WTCHealthProgram? Review the eligible groups. Each group has different requirements that need to be met for enrollment: https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/eligiblegroups.html
We demand that @CDCgov include gig workers in their Phase 1b recommendations for vaccine distribution for “Frontline essential workers”.
Gig workers have been forced to work during COVID—it's time they got treated as essential.

COVID disproportionately impacts communities of color. Wearing a mask to prevent the spread of COVID should not be a partisan act—it should be basic decency in caring about the health of your community. We urge leaders to protect the vulnerable, not endanger them.
TURN LIVE VENUES INTO COVID VACCINATION SITES & USE UNION LABOR TO SET IT UP
Ya gotta believe we’re opening a 24/7 mega vaccination site at Citi Field!
Thank you to the @Mets for stepping up to the plate and fighting back COVID-19. We’ll be able to vaccinate 5,000-7,000 New Yorkers a day (Yankees fans included).
THIS is a game-changer for our city.
This is so important!
All vaccinations are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
Due to limited supply from the federal government, all New Yorkers are encouraged to remain patient when scheduling appointments.
Do not show up to any vaccination site without an appointment—you will not get the vaccine.
The fact that the federal minimum wage for tipped workers in America is $2.13/hour is an utter disgrace.

@NYCOSH Thank you for everything you do to keep workers safe!
We have loved working with @jessicaramos this year on many initiatives--a workplace fatality registry, #NYHERO, nail salon health and safety, and countless other OSH issues. Congratulations and onward!
Congratulations @JoinJoyner! We're looking forward to our ongoing work with you to advance worker safety and health!
Thank you to all of the Senators and union leaders and especially @ALIGNny for their leadership in introducing #NYHERO today
Workers know what workers need. Cases are surging and we need to immediately ensure New Yorkers, businesses, and communities are protected and have the tools to fight this virus. That is why we need to #ProtectNYHeroes and pass NY HERO Act. Take Action: http://protectnyheroes.org
"If this has taught us anything, it's that we have to make the health and safety of workers a priority." - @NYSAFLCIO President Mario Cilento
We could not agree more! Let's get the #NYHeroAct passed and protect NY workers thru the pandemic - AND any future health crises. #1u
