PLEASE TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO DO THIS NOW

June 17 is a national day of action for working people across the United States. Congress is currently considering another stimulus package to help Americans through the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill is called the HEROES Act, previously known as CARES 2. AFSCME and the AFL-CIO (the umbrella organization for unions across the country) are pushing Congress to support five priorities in that bill.

AMERICA’S FIVE ECONOMIC ESSENTIALS

All five priorities are focused on supporting working families, and the institutions they rely on. You can read more about these priorities here. Among other things, the priorities include these things that affect SHARE members at UMMS:

State and Local Aid - which affects the Medical School’s ability to pay its employees
Personal Protective Equipment for front-line workers, plus money for training and testing
Unemployment benefits - for members furloughed or laid off as a result of COVID-19

Thanks for your support!
