The Metropolitan Washington Council this week joined with AFSCME District Council 20 in calling for DC Mayor Muriel Bowser to immediately move sanitation workers into the current phase of eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines and to recognize their essential work. “Our sanitation workers have been doing the essential work of keeping the city clean and safe, facing increased risk and exposure to the virus every single day with little recognition of their service,” said Robert Hollingsworth, Executive Director of District Council 20. “Ever since the pandemic began,” he added, “they rose to the call and never quit showing up and ensuring that our community is kept safe and essential services continue to run.” photo: DC sanitation worker Olivia French; photo courtesy WAMU Comments are closed.
