Magda Orlander and Jorge Lopez Co-Author Opinion Article for Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center (CIWC) trainer and program coordinator Magda Orlander and CIWC Board of Directors Vice Chair Jorge Lopez co-authored the opinion article “COVID-19 protections for workers still sorely lacking” for the Cincinnati Enquirer. Ms. Orlander and Mr. Lopez state, “With OSHA as well as federal, state and local leadership doing so little, it is up to frontline workers and communities to advocate for ourselves and our coworkers. All over the country, essential workers have been taking direct action and organizing together to demand safety and improve hazard pay and sick leave benefits. Workers are going on strike, delivering petitions to their employers, organizing for local and statewide policies and starting safety and health committees at their workplaces.”
