***Why are we getting Frontline Worker Pay?***Because Union Workers fought for it! SEIU, along with unions and community groups, kept the pressure on legislators since the beginning of the pandemic to respect, protect and pay frontline workers. Workers shared their stories in committees, at rallies and marches, sent postcards, made phonecalls and contributed to COPE, SEIU's political fund, and WE WON! Workers are stronger together! That's the union difference!
