Sheet metal worker and 9/11 first responder Joe Rabito takes 14 medications a day so he can breathe. Joe was one of the tens of thousands of first responders in New York City who went out to help survivors of the World Trade Center attacks.
These people, many of them union members, are still feeling the physical and mental long-term health effects from the work they did as first responders.
