We should prioritize workers, not large corporations. Yet, Mitch McConnell is fighting tooth and nail to let corporations off the hook if their workers get COVID-19 on the job, and he’s holding pandemic relief hostage at the expense of millions in the process. (1/5)

McConnell is claiming this policy is to help small businesses, but there’s already an existing legal standard to protect businesses that are acting reasonably: negligence. The Senate wants to wipe this away and let corporations off the hook for endangering workers. (2/5)

The reality is that corporate immunity would give companies the green light to put profits before people. We’ve already seen evidence of this life-threatening behavior, including right here in Orange County.

46 workers got sick following a COVID-19 outbreak at an @ATT call center in our district. Two tragically passed away, but AT&T took no responsibility and failed to answer my questions about how they’d improve. (4/5) https://twitter.com/RepKatiePorter/status/1321887055601836033

Mitch McConnell’s plan would let @ATT and other corporations get away with failing to protect their workers—and frankly, our entire community—during a public health emergency. It’s immoral, and we can’t stand for it. (5/5)
