Members of the Transport Workers Union are dying at an alarming rate. TWU members deemed essential throughout this pandemic are transporting nurses, doctors and others needed on the front lines. Members continue working on and around airplanes and on Amtrak and are at risk of getting the coronavirus daily. In this podcast, we hear from a flight attendant, an Amtrak service worker, a local leader of the subway division in New York City – and John Samuelsen, the international president of the Transport Workers Union representing more than 150,000 members.
