Community Support for Workers – SEIU needs You
Our friends at SEIU 2015 need your support right now. Follow the instructions and support nursing home staff. Read below and if you have any questions please contact Juan Garcia at SEIU.
We are requesting support for this federal regulation that would help address short staffing ratios in nursing homes across the country. There is a link to an online “petition” that SEIU 2015 created. Electronic comments on that petition are due by Tuesday, July 11.
First-hand accounts will help shine a light on the need for federal reforms. Please click on this link to share a personal story of how a nursing home worker or workers have helped you or a loved one or how you’ve seen the quality of care of your loved one be affected by not having enough Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) or other nursing home staff. This will help combat lies and improve the lives of both the workers and residents.
Thank you in advance and let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Juan Carlos Garcia
