Public workers continue to step up to serve communities despite the risks and losses we have experienced. We are treating patients, responding to emergencies, ensuring there’s a safety net, caring for the most vulnerable and so much more.
From health care to corrections to public works and education, workers across the Florida need as many tools as possible to prevent and respond to a COVID-19 exposure in the workplace. AFSCME has put together a FREE online workshop that will define key steps in worker protection and infection control.
