Labor leaders huddle on best practices
Washington state has become the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, and the state’s Unions are stepping up to protect the workers who are protecting the public. That means making sure that the dedicated people who respond to our emergencies, care for our sick and elderly, staff our schools and other public institutions, and provide other critical services have the resources and information they need to do their jobs, while also protecting themselves and their families. That also means making sure than anyone sickened, quarantined or otherwise prevented from working doesn’t needlessly suffer financially or lose their health insurance coverage at the worst possible time
