OHCN has been flat-funded for a decade+. #NewYork needs to increase funding for the OHCN from $9.5 mil to $20 mil in the FY 23-24 NYS Enacted Budget. #FundTheOHCN #SixBucksForOccHealth #FightLongCOVID #WorkerHealthIsPublicHealth #EssentialWorkers #WorkerHealth #EssentialOHCN
There is such power in the reading of the names and ages of the 146 victims - Jewish and Italian girls, the laying of flowers, and tolling of the bell at the #TriangleFire site…and the red flowers for workers killed this year
Their names ring out for justice across 112 years.
March with NYC nail techs and our allies as we celebrate all the bold women and individuals who organize for justice and dignity on the job #AllHandsIn @NYHealthySalons

The Temperature Extreme Mitigation Program (T.E.M.P.) Act, introduced in New York state by @jessicaramos and @JoinJoyner, is aimed at creating a standard to protect workers from both heat and cold stress. https://sh-m.ag/40jBkF9
Tx @stucknation for having @Charlene_Amber on to talk about worker safety and health!
Key takeaways:
➡️Long COVID is the largest mass disabling event of our lifetimes
➡️Masks work! But should be fit tested.

🧵NELP is proud to support warehouse workers’ efforts across the country to pass new laws against the harmful work quotas that have resulted in astronomical rates of serious injury at Amazon warehouses. https://www.nelp.org/publication/data-show-alarming-rise-of-serious-injuries-at-amazon-warehouses-in-states-across-the-country/ #AmazonHurts @teamsters @athenaforall
Today, we're thinking about folks who are clearing the roads, packing our groceries, and delivering our packages while the snow storm hammers down on New York State.
Many of these drivers and warehouse workers are working with no heat.❄️
It should be illegal.
#TEMPBillNow
Stay safe out there and support the TEMP Bill.
