Nurses, Essential Workers Push COVID Safety Bill Amid Second Wave

We need this HERO Act to pass because without it, you canât call us heroes. You may as well just call us suckers, because we have to go into work, because if we donât, we wonât eat,â said Robert Williams, a chef who worked at an assisted-living facility in Queens throughout the height of the coronavirus pandemic. As the numbers of COVID cases and hospitalizations increase across the state, Mr. Williams, along with health-care staff, laundry workers and other essential workers, Dec. 17 renewed calls to pass the New York Health and Essential RightsÂ Order, or NY HERO Act. The bill would require the state Health Department and Department of Labor to establish minimum COVID safety standards for workplaces to protect employees. Personal protective equipment, social distancing, sanitizing and testing protocols would all be required.

Hospital nurses in New York strike over inadequate staffing amid coronavirus

Monday, December 21, 2020 by: Divina Ramirez Bypass censorship by sharing this link: https://www.hangthecensors.com/481814.html (Natural News) Nurses at the privately-owned Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital in New York went on strike on Tuesday, Dec. 8, demanding more staff and better equipment, as rising COVID-19 cases nationwide threatened to overwhelm hospitals. Some 200 nurses represented by the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) walked out of their shifts at 7 a.m. for a planned two-day strike. They were asking the hospital for safer working conditions and to increase staffing levels in anticipation of the surge in COVID-19 patients. Nurses said the hospital has been pushing them to care for too many patients than they could handle at a time. This forces nurses to choose which patient to rescue, said Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, the president of the nurses’ union at the hospital. “That is just a horrible thing for health professionals to confront.”
