Roy Coleman – an Emergency Medical Technician in Shreveport, Louisiana – passed away on 7 April, 2020, after suffering from COVID-19. Roy was 64 years old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“I extend my deepest condolences to the families of Roy Coleman and Vianna Thompson. Their avoidable and untimely deaths highlight the risks facing frontline health care providers and other mission-critical workers every day — and the scandalous lack of action to keep these workers safe,” AFGE National President Everett Kelley said in the statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

AFGE filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration this week, criticizing the VA for failing to protect staff. The union claimed the VA created an unsafe working environment by not providing enough personal protective equipment to frontline workers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
