On this episode of Labor Express Radio, nurse Dennis Kosuth, who works in both hospitals and public schools, a member of both National Nurses United (NNU) and the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) discusses Chicago’s teachers and nurses fighting back against unsafe conditions in their workplaces during the pandemic, especially the resistance of teachers to a return to in-classroom teaching as the infection rate in the city tops 10%. Also in this episode, a coalition of Chicago worker’s centers release a new report entitled The COVID Jungle Research Report, which documents the lack of COVID-19 protections for essential workers in the food supply chain.
