MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – The Transport Workers Union of America filed a lawsuit Friday against Miami-Dade County Transportation & Public Works Director Alice Bravo, citing a lack of protection for transit workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The union claims transit operators are coming into close contact with tens of thousands of passengers a day, leading to an increased risk of them contracting COVID-19. “Defendant Alice Bravo has failed to provide sufficient personal protective equipment to transit employees -- even though the County has adequate PPE and supplies,” the complaint reads. “She has further not provided transit employees the PPE products within the County’s inventory that provide the highest levels of protection.”The lawsuit claims that Bravo has also failed to provide transit employees with sufficient cleaning products to disinfect their work spaces.
