Hospital Workers 1199C (NUHHCE/AFL-CIO)
Nurses Union
Firefighter's Union
SEIU (Paramedics)

PLUS - there was an airline employee who testified that he works for a cleaning subcontractor for an airline (he mentioned that he and his colleagues are not unionized), where they clean the planes after each flight with little or no protective gear effective enough for cleaning (thin latex gloves), let alone for anything else.

More summary of the testimony -
