The House passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act on Friday.
“The coronavirus is highly contagious and the problem isn’t going away anytime soon,” said Sen. Murray, co-sponsor of the bill. “Workers want to do the right thing for themselves, their families, and their communities—so especially in the middle of public health crises like this, staying home sick shouldn’t have to mean losing a paycheck or a job. This bill would immediately give workers the ability to care for themselves, their families and help keep their communities safe.
‘This nation will only be as healthy as our most vulnerable and least cared-for residents,” wrote Family Values at Work, a network of 27 state coalitions working for policies that value families at work, in But Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer argue that the Democratic emergency relief package they and their colleagues are proposing will be more effective and aggressive than the Trump administration alternative because it targets those affected most directly by the coronavirus.—rather than on the coronavirus specifically.
