The New York State Nurses Association is pushing local hospitals to turn over statistics on Covid-19 in nurses. The union, which represents 42,000 workers statewide, has also been busy filing unfair labor practice charges against many of the local hospitals for allegedly not providing proper PPE.
Speaking of which, FEMA Administrator, Pete Gaynor, told lawmakers this week that the U.S. could face shortages of PPE in areas where the number of Covid-19 cases are rising. While we are in better shape than we were at the end of March and April, a surge in demand in states with growing hospitalizations could cause ‘micro-shortages,’ he said.
Another former member of the Service Employees has filed federal charges against the union for continuing to deduct dues from his paycheck after he tried twice to end his membership with the union.
