Working people are on the frontline of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. Employers have an obligation to ensure that workers are safe. The FSU is committed to protecting workers’ rights and supporting our members through this global health emergency.
It’s not your job to keep your workplace safe
Every employer has a responsibility to protect the health of workers. If a workplace chooses to ignore the basics of COVID safety, that’s putting us all at risk of a worsening pandemic.
