Reminder: CWA's COVID-19 Resource Page

  • Reminder: CWA's COVID-19 Resource PageWe continue to update our COVID-19 resource page with new resources to address common questions and concerns that CWA members have as the pandemic continues to affect every aspect of our lives. Materials include recommended health and safety protocols for workers and information about benefits available as the result of recently passed federal legislation to address the crisis. The page also has links to information on the CDCs dangerous recommendation that asymptomatic workers who have had close contact and known exposure to a person with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 continue to work, instead of being quarantined. Your local leadership will have the most up-to-date information on policies in place at your work location to address the COVID-19 pandemic and what action you should take if you believe you are being asked to work under unsafe conditions. Remember, if you have been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing symptoms consistent with infection, contact your healthcare provider immediately and follow reporting procedures established by your employer. Also notify your CWA Local or District as soon as possible. — Apr 16
