32BJ SEIU and the Apartment and Office Building Association (AOBA) are urging prioritization of at-risk frontline property services workers for vaccines to expedite the region’s reopening. “Not only are frontline cleaners, building managers, engineers, maintenance and security personnel critical to keeping us safe and controlling the spread of COVID-19, but they are also getting sick and dying at vastly higher rates as a result,” the union and AOBA said on Wednesday. “We applaud D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for leading the region by making at-risk frontline property service workers eligible for COVID vaccines a top priority, as this is an important first step to vaccinating all. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam should also be commended for allowing employers to register eligible employees for vaccines. We urge Maryland state officials to follow their responsible lead, and for the three jurisdictions to begin expediting access to vaccines for all frontline property service workers - the quicker that happens, the quicker our region can recover and reopen.”
