We’ve got
some great news.
Our Essential Workers Bill of Rights legislation is picking up some major
momentum in Congress. A number of progressive leaders have officially
co-sponsored the legislation, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!

critical legislation passed. Will you sign your name to help protect
essential workers right now?

Our demands are simple: This administration should treat our essential
workers as exactly that — essential. They deserve the protections and
benefits they have earned as the backbone of our economy during this
crisis.
Here’s a rundown of exactly what we’re calling for:
1. Health and safety protections including PPE.
2. Robust premium compensation retroactive to the beginning of this
crisis.
3. Provide protections for collective bargaining agreements.
4. Institute truly universal paid sick leave and family and medical
leave.
5. Protect whistleblowers who call attention to unsafe conditions.
6. End to worker misclassification.
7. Full health insurance for all frontline workers.
8. Support child care.
9. Give workers a seat at the table when coordinating government
response.
10. Hold corporations accountable for meeting their responsibilities.
[ [link removed] ]Essential workers should have had these things from day one. This
administration failed them. Now, it’s up to us to make it up to them by
passing the Essential Workers Bill of Rights.
Thanks for your help,
Team Ro
