• Essential workers have continued to ensure that we can have access to food, health care, sanitation, and other vital goods and services. Yet our country has failed to take care of these workers.   Every day, these workers labor in unsafe conditions without appropriate equipment, safety standards, or job protections.
• The HEROES Act contains 9 of the 10 provisions of the Essential Workers Bill of Rights: health and safety protections, fair compensation, truly universal sick and family leave, health care security and job protections.*
• Insist that the next federal stimulus package includes these urgent provision.
