Workplace Organizing for Safety During COVID
On September 16, we hosted a workshop on how to organize your co-workers to make the workplace safer during COVID-19. You can rewatch the workshop at facebook.com/ocasiocortez/live
If you’re concerned about safety at your workplace or plan on talking to your co-workers about it, fill out this pledge form bit.ly/workerpledge. We will reach out to support you and connect you to a labor organizer. If you live in NY-14, we’ll provide PPE for you to distribute at your workplace.
Download and print this worker safety organizing toolkit:
- Template Co-Worker Chart: Use this to develop a contact list for your co-workers, and get them involved in the effort to win safety and justice in your workplace.
