Take Action!

If your boss is not ensuring a sanitary environment, or if there are more serious health or safety hazards unrelated to COVID-19, take collective action with your co-workers by signing a petition, stopping work, or striking (https://cwa-union.org/covid19organizing). 

If you take collective action with a petition, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the letter is dated.
2. Add in your own specific demands (not all economic in nature)
3. Deliver the letter to the company. One or more workers can do this. 
4. Fax or email the letter to the corporation headquarters, if there are more than one locations
5. Take a picture of the letter with all the signatures. 
6. Take a picture of the letter being delivered with a time stamp on the photo (most cell phones have this feature)
