From Tom Conway: USW international president: Answers to your questions about your work during COVID-19

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to stay safe at work if you’re considered essential and what you qualify for if you’ve lost your job because of COVID-19.

We’re working hard to get answers to those questions and more, and want to make sure you know what we’ve gathered so far.

Check out the videos, share them with other members in your local who have questions and check our COVID-19 webpage, usw.org/COVID19, for even more resources.
