“The Trump administration not only has no plan to protect workers and their families from this pandemic, they are pushing blanket immunity for corporations who endanger the lives of their workers. Working families now face the impossible decision of putting themselves and their families in immediate danger or risk losing their job.

Trump’s OSHA has not issued Emergency Temporary Standards to protect workers outside the health care industry. Now, when workers are most vulnerable and in-need of protection, OSHA has done little more than give vague advice to companies, rather than enacting any legally enforceable measures that would actually hold corporations accountable for the safety and well-being of their employees.

This administration is fully aware that companies are putting their own greed over the health and safety of their employees, and that’s why they want to make sure that corporations are given complete immunity, allowing them to sacrifice workers just to line CEOs’ and shareholders’ pockets without consequence. Make no mistake, giving corporations immunity from being held responsible for dangerous business practices will kill people. No lawmaker who cares about working families can vote to give corporations immunity. It’s just that simple.”
