CWA Local 1102 Pushes for NY HERO Executive Order

Workers like Hope Gilmore from CWA Local 1102 in Staten Island are pushing for legislators to act to protect all workers during the pandemic.

At the rally, Gilmore spoke out about the need for NY HERO, an Executive Order that Gov. Andrew Cuomo could issue that would create clear, enforceable standards to protect all workers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, including ensuring PPE, disinfection, and deep cleaning of workplaces, along with a prohibition on retaliation.
