BlueGreen Alliance Legislative Priorities for COVID-19 Federal Response and Economic Stimulus
It is critical we ensure the safety of workers on the job in the face of COVID-19, whether they are nurses on the frontlines, workers in warehouses, utility workers keeping the lights on across the country, or manufacturing workers building essential products.

COVID-19 Federal Response & Economic Stimulus – BlueGreen Alliance Legislative Priorities
Congress took the first steps to address the immediate economic impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic when it passed legislation to provide paid time off to some workers and boost unemployment insurance, among other measures.
