Yes, we still need a workplace COVID-19 rule
COVID-19 has hit workers in the gut. Health care, agricultural, meatpacking plant workers, bus drivers, warehouse workers and retail store clerks have gotten sick and too many have died. The previous administration mostly stood by as the virus wrought this carnage. It offered recommendations on how employers might avert exposing their workers, but it mandated nothing new in the face of the pandemic.
Worker advocates pressed relentlessly for a Department of Labor (DOL)-issued emergency temporary standard (ETS) that would impose clear requirements on all employers in the fight against COVID-19 in the workplace, but they did so to no avail. Faced with thousands of complaints, the Trump DOL did little to address workers' concerns, as its inspector general recently affirmed.
