Nurses, caregivers, city council members call for immediate action to slow the flu

On Friday, people from all over New York City rallied for immediate action to slow the flu epidemic — and we were there.

We called on the City Council to immediately pass paid sick day legislation.

“Everyone pays when sick people are forced to go to work. Their co-workers become infected,” Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, RN told the crowd. Judy is first vice president of NYSNA.
