Stimulus & Bailout Watch Thread

but they dont have liability protection right now

More reason for them not to have it. They don't need it. These companies can put out the cash for a lawsuit if it comes up. Your avg worker cannot - even if they had stimulus money.

This sits on the Senate, Mitch, and the Rs.

but the average worker shouldnt even be able to sue their job for getting the virus

we're 8 months into it. assess the risk yourself, and quit or dont apply if you feel it's dangerous. people have BEEN working in grocery stores, with the public, for 8 months

i mean im sorry, but the idea of holding up stimulus over this is asinine. give them protection in exchange for bigger checks

where are the successful lawsuits currently being filed that you're referring to? that are suddenly gonna be unable to be filed if protection is put in place?

and can we drop this stupid hippy bullshyt that every company is a greedy, evil corporation?

what do you mean, "these companies"? are you aware that this is also gonna protect small businesses who cannot afford lawsuits?

Even if that stimulus is passed you are gonna see the same unemployment expiration date hit in April
So not sure what can be done
Slow death now or slow death later?

Winter gonna hit hard

Depends on the provisions in place to keep the workers safe. I worked a bit with OSHA so I'm very worker slanted. There are places definitely putting workers at risk, and many of those workers don't have the flexibility to just get up and leave.

Tyson is a good example of how NOT to do it, as they only started listening to the need for better protection after their bad PR with the gambling on infections.

Yeah, jobs are just falling out of the sky in the pandemic. I saw a bunch stuffed into my mailbox today!

There isn't a valid enough reason to supply immunity. If the workplace small or big was negligent, they deserve the lawsuit should it come.

what do you mean, "these companies"? are you aware that this is also gonna protect small businesses who cannot afford lawsuits?

I'm aware. No issue with what I said. Taking your example, a small business would still be the better of the two between itself and a worker for lawyering up for a suit.

what lawsuits are gonna be filed in the future, if people arent even filing them 8 months into the pandemic on ANY kind of wide scale?

you want to hold out on stimulus so that people can maybe file phantom lawsuits in the future?

What is even the purpose of them wanting this liability protection? Are they prepping for the future firing of people that can’t work because of covid or what?

Ain't the vaccine distribution part of the relief package? So if nothing passes, vaccines just going to collect dust?

Only way this makes sense is if they forgive the rent that is owed. If they are not forgiving back rent, then there will be retroactive unemployment. Otherwise, there’s no point.
