NBC Nightly News:
With each state controlling how Covid-19 vaccines are given, there’s a patchwork of plans for who can receive the shot next.
USWU Local 455 paratransit worker, Sheila Graham of First Transit Region 5, Newark, NJ, a respected member of the Union, was interviewed for this special report to shed light on an important, under-reported aspect of this crisis and to speak out on the necessity of vaccine access for frontline workers.
USWU continues to raise awareness as we fight to keep our members safe, demand priority vaccine access, and advocate for legislative policies that will support our working families through this public health crisis.
Thanks to Sheila for bringing much-needed awareness to this issue, and to all who go to work every day on the front lines of his pandemic.
