Members of Local 14540 joined the fight to protect health care workers by taking action around the union’s “Safe Jobs Now” campaign earlier this month. While they all work for the road commission in Mio, Mich., many of them have family members and friends who work in the health care field, which inspired them to sign the postcards that will be delivered to members of Congress in October.

The “Safe Jobs Now” campaign is in support of the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (H.R. 1309/S. 851), which would direct the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to ensure health care employers develop and implement violence prevention plans.
For more about this campaign and how you can get involved, click here. We will be taking our message to Capitol Hill at our National Rapid Response and Legislative Conference in October, and will be hand-delivering the postcards you sent in.
