SEIU Local 2015 is advocating for several immediate measures to support all nursing home workers on the frontlines of this pandemic, including:

• Skilled nursing facilities must have a 14-day supply of medical-grade PPE on-hand for staff with ongoing procurement for non-state supply chains;
• Immediate testing of all nursing home workers and patients, and a standardized testing regime statewide going forward;
• Fully-funded, accessible healthcare for every worker, including paid sick leave and 100%-paid testing and treatment for COVID-19;
• Pandemic pay that reflects the essential nature of the work.
