The second-largest nurses union in the country on Thursday announced a three-point plan to help fight the spread of Ebola after a second nurse has been diagnosed with the deadly disease.
AFT announced its plans Thursday following calls from National Nurses United, the largest union of nurses, for President Obama to use executive action to do more in the fight against the disease. AFT’s plans call for a stronger preparedness from hospitals to deal with the disease and using frontline staff to help in preparedness plans.
Two nurses from a Dallas hospital have become infected with the disease after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of Ebola last week.
