John,
In the middle of the worst public health crisis of our lifetime, Big Business lobbyists are demonstrating just how little they care about the health and safety of our state's working people.
They want the Arizona Legislature to adopt a new bill that would shield negligent corporations from legal liability over pandemic-related lawsuits.
If passed, HB2912 would take away your right to seek legal damages against corporations that endanger our lives during this pandemic. Your right to seek damages for injuries is so important that it’s enshrined in the Arizona Constitution--but this bill would change that.
By making our voices heard, we can make sure that corporate profits aren’t placed above the safety of our citizens. Corporations who fail to protect their employees and customers shouldn’t be given a free pass.
The pandemic death toll is already far too high--it is not an exaggeration to say that this issue is a matter of life and death. Our workers are the backbone of our state, and they need to know that their employers can’t get away with putting them in harm’s way.
We must demand that the Arizona Legislature put the safety of our citizens first. Negligent corporations don’t need protection--we do!
