Hey friend, we’ve got just one question for you: Where is Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia? Do you know? Have you seen him around?
Because our country is engulfed in a massive public health and economic crisis, one impacting tens of millions of American workers, and we can’t find the secretary of labor.
If Secretary Scalia’s absence concerns you, share your thoughts with us ASAP.
What are the costs of Eugene Scalia’s inaction? See for yourself…

Is there a clear plan from the Labor Department to ensure that every American who applies for much-needed unemployment benefits is guaranteed to receive them within 14 days?
Has the department issued emergency hospital safety standards to protect our critical health care workers?
Has Secretary Scalia created federal guidance for essential workers who are required to work in potentially unsafe workplaces?
Do essential workers like cashiers, warehouse workers, and transit employees have effective recourse if their employers fail to take necessary health precautions or provide them with hazard pay?

Labor Secretary Scalia’s apathy has real-life consequences for American workers. Will you share your thoughts with us about his dereliction of duty?
Please stay safe and healthy,
The team at Allied Progress
