CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Union employees rallied outside a Cleveland nursing home on Wednesday to protest their work conditions during the pandemic.
“They’re putting their lives at risk every day, and they’re basically not being recognized,” said Michelle Pyrigi with Service Employee International Union 1199, the union that represents the employees.
“They’re flying these banners that say, ‘Heroes work here,’ but in no way are they being treated in that manner,” she added.
