Help Non Emergency Medical Transportation workers receive Hazard pay during pandemic
Why this petition matters
Non Emergency Medical transportation workers are faced with a health crisis, taking dialysis patients to and from their dialysis without receiving hazard pay during the Coronavirus pandemic. They also have very little access to PPE that is not provided by their company. A list of some of these companies working in Orange County and La County: TLC Medical Transport, ShuttleMED, Medlink Medical Transport, Lifestar Medical Transport, Wellnet Medi Van Transportation.
These people are currently working back to back to provide transportation to dialysis patients and they even transport them to their doctors appointments. They are doing our community a great service. Without dialysis, people cannot sustain their life. Please help protect our workers with better pay and access to PPE to protest themselves and their family during the Covid-19 outbreak. Many of these drivers receive minimum wage and are not being compensated during this pandemic.
