Along with the attached DCAS Memo regarding Mayor’s Personnel Order 2021/2, which gives time to City employees to vaccinate their children, we would like to inform you of the following:
The House of Representatives has passed President Joe Biden’s transformational bipartisan infrastructure plan, which Biden will soon sign into law. The passage earned praise from AFSCME President Lee Saunders, who, in a statement, said, “We are turning a corner.”
As solidarity actions and strikes sweep the nation, workers are making history by organizing their workplaces for the first time.
When workers belong to a union, they have a unified voice to create safer, stronger and healthier workplaces. Organizing is our most effective tool to determine workplace dignity, hours, working conditions and quality of life. Workers aren’t stuck with dangerous workplace conditions with poor wages and benefits. They can improve them, together.
