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

This Saturday! Immigration Parole for TPS and DACA Recipients

Leave a reply

I want to introduce LRT’s summer intern, Gloria Arroyo. Gloria will be with us this summer as part of the University of La Verne’s Summer Service Program. She will be working on immigration, environmental justice, and social media content.

Here is more about Gloria (Gigi):

Hi! My name is Gloria Arroyo and I am a senior at the University of La Verne, studying English. I am from Ontario, California and I am excited to be working at the Latino and Latina Roundtable this summer as part of the University’s Summer Service. Summer Service is a program that invites students to connect to the wider community through service that sparks personal, spiritual and career growth.
I decided to spend this summer at the Latino and Latina Roundtable because I see this organization actively advocating for social movements that help build a healthy community. I want to get involved in the efficient use of resources and social mobility directing the latinx community towards positive experiences.
I am eager to continue learning more about the organization and to use my experience to be a part of the strengthening of my community.
