10-Jan-21 – Thousands of workers around Chicago have been labeled “essential” to maintaining our health, educational, and economic infrastructures. We want to hear from those essential workers about what they need to keep going. What is your biggest concern as an essential worker and what should be done to bring relief? Twenty newsrooms in Chicago are collaborating to better understand and report on important issues facing essential workers. We want our coverage to adequately reflect experiences impacting life, family, and community for workers in health care, schools, transit, public safety, food service, and other industries that are critical to our ability to function as a city and state. Fill out this survey and tell us what should be done for those who must physically show up for work during the pandemic... By completing this survey, you agree that your message can be used as part of ongoing coverage of essential workers and that a news organization may contact you about this and related issues. Your message will be treated as confidential.
