Subject: No Business Immunity for Harming Consumer or Worker Safety

Message:

I urge you to oppose efforts by big business to use COVID-19 as an excuse to waive consumer, worker and environmental safeguards. Millions of Californians have lost income due to the Coronavirus, 150,000 have tested positive, and 5,000 have succumbed. Average Californians who are enduring this pandemic understand that we still must follow the law. And many businesses have stepped up, providing vital services in safe workplaces and helping idled workers with income support. Corporations that have fallen short now seek blanket immunity from accountability by consumers who contracted the Coronavirus due to a business’ negligence in its safeguards. They want front line workers who put themselves at risk to lose their day in court when cheated out of wages they deserve, and they insist that the lowest paid should remain in poverty by cancelling a 2021 minimum wage hike that was enacted by lawmakers in 2016. Billionaire business owners should not get a pass to keep misclassifying underpaid “gig economy” workers. The establishment of rules to clean our air and water should not be derailed. Please do not grant big business a Coronavirus escape clause from vital consumer, labor and environmental laws and regulations that make California a great place to work and live. I urge you to reject the California Chamber of Commerce’s effort to suspend or roll back laws and regulations that provide common sense protections for tens of millions of Californians. Sincerely,
