John,
As more places move to reopen their economies, we need Congress to do more to protect workers -- and here's how they should start:

We know that workplaces are potential hotbeds for infection. Thousands of American health care workers have come down with COVID-19, and nearly 200 meat processing plants have had outbreaks, infecting 11,500 people. Cashiers and others have been hard hit, too.
It's essential that companies take action to protect their employees, and that they have clear guidance and support on how to do so. For that to happen all across the country, we need Congress to act.
This week I wrote about how Congress can spur businesses to protect workers, and you can read about it here:

To enable American businesses to survive, hire employees, and get our economy moving again, we need common sense measures to protect American workers.
Thanks,
Mike Bloomberg
