S4317 Safe to Work Act

Charles Daniels from American Workers First, is our guest. On July 27th, 2020 John Cornyn, Senior Senator from Texas (R) and Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader from Kentucky (R), introduced the 'SAFE TO WORK Act' (S. 4317). The legislation is an acronym, Safeguarding America's Frontline Employees To Offer Work Opportunities To Kickstart the Economy. While the name of the bill indicates that the purpose is to 'safeguard' employees, what follows is a piece of legislation that systematically eliminates worker protection and instead focuses on limiting the liability of corporations from potential lawsuits for failure to protect their frontline employees.
