Your Rights If You’re Exposed to COVID-19 at Work

[ABFwife]

Wow, I am not a teamster but I can say where I worked, non of this was done and the reason I am no longer working there.

OSHA and CDC guidelines are clear about what management should do if someone in your workplace tests positive for COVID-19. Here's what to do if management isn’t following the rules.

Here’s what you should know about your rights and how to make management respect them.
OSHA Rules: If an Employee Tests Positive

If an employee tests positive or self-quarantines for COVID-19, they should report this to management.

OSHA and CDC guidelines require management to:

Inform workers of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace

Contact Health Department authorities

Identify employees who have been directly exposed to the sick co-worker

Put employees who have had direct exposure in touch with government health authorities to get advice on whether to self-quarantine

Management also has to sanitize affected work areas, trucks, and equipment.

Your Rights If You

Some employers are just like the general public. They don't believe, therefore everybody else is wrong.

Workers Fired, Penalized for Reporting COVID Safety Violations

As many employers, with the strong encouragement of the Trump administration, move to bring employees back, a growing number of workers are resisting what they feel are unsafe, unhealthy conditions. In recent months, a few states have passed laws specifically aimed at protecting workers who face COVID-related safety risks and retaliation for speaking up about them. Some states, like New Jersey, have whistleblower protection laws already. But advocates say stronger federal protections are needed.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, part of the U.S. Department of Labor, is responsible for enforcing 23 federal whistleblower statutes that protect workers from retaliation if they report workplace safety violations, among other problems.

But according to a new analysis, the agency isn’t up to the task. The National Employment Law Project, a workers’ advocacy and research group, found that of 1,744 COVID-related retaliation complaints filed with OSHA between April and mid-August, 20% were docketed for investigation and 2% were resolved. More than half were dismissed or closed without investigation.

Since the Democrats are playing King Rulers of the world with this virus....and the big shot union leaders act as if we are somehow married to them.....


WHY IS HOFFA NOT TELLING THEM TO REGULATE TRUCKING TEMPORARILY.......NO CROSSING STATE LINES WITH TRUCKS...EXCEPTING VERY FEW NECESSARY DRIVERS...VERY FEW.
Organize when it's easy to do so......any union brains anymore??
Or just suckups to companies and politicians???

They can't see an opportunity for that? Why the hell not?
I'm sure I'd hear every excuse under the sun if you'd call DC.. on why and how it would never work and we can't do that.

They pick and choose what is essential.....how much are the unions getting in return for all of our money and support and votes?

We are just here to be used and we are lucky to have a job and have a union is always the mentality. Stupid country anymore.
