Support Frontline CWA Healthcare Workers - A message from President Don Dunn
CWA-represented healthcare workers need our help. They are on the front lines of the Covid-19 crisis.
This is wartime, but they are going to battle with no ammo, and their lives are literally in danger.
As Covid-19 related hospitalizations soar, hospitals and other healthcare institutions suffer from criminal shortages of N95 respirators, surgical masks, protective gowns, latex gloves and other protective equipment.
There is a desperate shortage of ventilators, tests and healthcare workers.
If you care about CWA members on the front lines of the Covid-19 crisis-if you care about healthcare workers everywhere-please click here to tell PresidentTrump to activate the National Defense Production Act NOW! Our healthcare institutions are woefully unprepared for this crisis, not through their own fault, and healthcare workers and their families will die if things don't change. President Trump has the power to make the difference by using the full force of the National Defense Production Act, which allows him to order U.S. manufacturers to produce goods needed to meet the crisis. In World War II, the government overnight switched the auto industry into the "Arsenal for Democracy," changing from production of passenger cars to tanks, jeeps, and military aircraft.
We need President Trump to do EVERYTHING in his power to ensure that front-line healthcare workers have everything they need to do their jobs and be safe.
