Dear John:
While our Union’s industries have been among the hardest hit by the COVID-19 economic and healthcare crisis, we all recognize that America’s workers across all sectors are affected in ways that will be devastating for years to come. Without more direct help, hardworking people and their families will continue to spiral downward.
Take action to tell Congress to keep America healthy and protect and expand health insurance for all workers.
Millions of people who have lost their jobs and millions more on the front lines of the COVID-19 global pandemic need our collective support and decisive action from Congress. That’s why we’re partnering up with our union siblings with the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, AFT, UFCW, among others representing America’s workers, to call on Congress and President Trump to adopt America’s Five Economic Essentials as the centerpiece of future legislation:
- Keep America healthy—protect and expand health insurance for all workers.
- Keep front-line workers safe and secure.
- Keep workers employed and protect earned pension checks.
- Keep public schools going, the Postal Service solvent, state and local governments running.
- Keep America competitive—hire people to build infrastructure.
As the fighting hospitality union, we know how to make noise. As a fighting labor movement together in solidarity, we are unstoppable. Tell Congress to act NOW for America’s workers.
In solidarity,
D. Taylor
UNITE HERE International Union President
