Businesses are pushing for liability protections, while labor groups say it could prevent workers from holding bad employers accountable.
The next coronavirus relief package could include liability protections for businesses that would shield them from workplace lawsuits.

"We follow all the rules with temperature checks, gloves, masks, stickers on the floor for social distancing, but a lot of customers aren't wearing masks." Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have said they'd fight limits to litigation, arguing such proposals could restrict workers' right to sue. Labor advocacy groupsthese protections have the potential to shield bad businesses that aren't doing enough to protect their employees, which could put workers' lives at risk.
If immunity isn't granted at the federal level, some businesses may still be shielded from lawsuits as a result of state laws.
