TORONTO, April 14, 2021 /CNW/ - Essential workers are speaking out on the need for vaccination access and paid sick days to protect them from COVID-19, in a series of new videos of frontline Unifor members.
"These frontline workers are seeking priority vaccine access for workers who can't stay home, such as grocery, warehouse, transit, airline and telecommunications workers, as COVID-19 case numbers skyrocket with the danger of more contagious variants," said Unifor National President Jerry Dias.
"I can't stay home, so help me be safe at work with priority vaccine access, paid time to get vaccinated and paid sick days if I develop symptoms," says Paula from Unifor Local 4285 in N.S. Essential workers are speaking out in this new video series. Sign the petition: Unifor.org/PrioritizeWorkers
