Jean Ross (National Nurses United) / Greg Regan (AFL-CIO)

Jean Ross, a president of National Nurses United, joined The America’s Work Force Union Podcast. Ross discussed the need for nurses to obtain equipment and staff that they were denied, but needed to take care of patients. She also urged nurses countrywide to join the union so that they can have these benefits and not be threatened with losing their jobs for not being able to meet quotas because they are missing necessities to work. 

Greg Regan of the Transportation Trades Department of the AFL-CIO appeared on America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed a contract for rail worker sick days that missed the mark. Regan further mentioned that the railroad industry has laid off a third of its workforce which has caused a lack of safety and time off.. The workers are being paid better, but not getting time off.
