For AT&T Bargained Employees
The company is extending the original 80 hours of paid, excused time off to up to a total of 160 hours for the following scenarios:
- Employees who tested positive for COVID-19 and remain quarantined.
- Employees who are at higher risk due to an underlying health condition (60+, heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, cancer).
- Parents or guardians of children whose schools or daycares have closed for COVID-19 and for whom another child care option is not yet available.
- (NEW) Primary caregiver for someone diagnosed with COVID-19 who is unable to provide self-care.
This is important to know that the last day you can take off under this temporary policy is
May 1, 2020.
The COVID-19 response bill being pushed by Senate Republicans is a monumental failure. Shameless politicians are using this pandemic to give handouts to their corporate and Wall Street friends while leaving workers to fend for themselves.
Senate Democrats are pushing back against this corporate giveaway to insist on a bill that will make sure that the money goes to those who need it most - the people whose paychecks are at risk during this crisis.
Any legislation passed by Congress should require companies that receive federal relief funds to keep people on payroll. It also must make sure that companies who face bankruptcy do not use that as an excuse to do an end run around the protections union members have bargained in their contracts.
The bottom line is the Senate Republican COVID-19 bill is a security blanket for corporate executives and Wall Street. Any bill the Senate passes must put working people first. Click here to call now or dial: 1-866-937-7983
Tell the person who answers the phone:
Any coronavirus relief bill must include requirements that companies use the funds to keep employees on payroll and protections for workers’ contracts in bankruptcy.
Many of you are on the front lines - going to work every day to provide critical services during this crisis. Congress must give workers the support they need. Call your Senators now: 1-866-937-7983

Stay Home
Stay Safe
Save Lives
To combat the spread of COVID-19 in Michigan, Governor Whitmer signed the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order. For at least the next three weeks, all Michigan businesses and operations must temporarily suspend in-person operations that are not necessary to sustain or protect life, and all Michiganders must stay in their homes unless they’re a part of that critical infrastructure workforce, engaged in an outdoor activity, or performing tasks necessary to the health and safety of themselves or their family, like going to the hospital or grocery store.
YOU CAN:
- Go to the grocery store or pick up take-out food.
- Go to the pharmacy to pick up a needed prescription.
- Engage in outdoor activities like walking, hiking, running, biking.
- Go to the hospital or secure any care necessary to address a medical emergency or to preserve your health or
the health of a loved one. - Fill your car with gas.
- Return to Michigan to a home or place of residence from outside the State.
- Leave the State for a home or residence elsewhere.
- Walk your pets and take them to the veterinarian for needed medical care.
YOU MAY NOT:- Leave the home to work unless your employer designates you as a critical infrastructure worker.
- Participate in any public gatherings.
- Visit someone in the hospital, nursing home, or other residential care facilities (with limited exceptions).
- Go to the mall or to restaurants.
BUSINESSES THAT REMAIN OPEN FOR IN-PERSON WORK MUST TAKE AGGRESSIVE STEPS TO MINIMIZE THE VIRUS’S SPREAD. THEY MUST:- Promote remote work to the fullest extent possible.
- Restrict the number of workers present in-person on the job.
- Keep employees at least six feet from one another to the maximum extent possible and enabling social
distancing for customers who are standing in line. - Any other social distancing practices and mitigation measures recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.
Information around this outbreak is changing rapidly. The latest information is available at Michigan.gov/Coronavirus and CDC.gov/Coronavirus.
For those who have questions about the state’s actions to mitigate the spread of coronavirus, please call the COVID-19 Hotline at 1-888-535-6136 between 8AM - 5PM daily.
- Promote remote work to the fullest extent possible.
- Leave the home to work unless your employer designates you as a critical infrastructure worker.
For purposes of this order, critical infrastructure workers are those workers described by the Director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in his guidance of March 19, 2020 on the COVID-19 response.
House passes bill to rewrite labor laws and strengthen unions
By
Eli Rosenberg
Feb. 6, 2020 at 9:21 p.m. ESTOne of the most significant bills to strengthen workers’ abilities to organize in the past 80 years passed the House on Thursday, the latest sign of momentum for the labor movement.
The Protecting the Right to Organize Act, known as the PRO Act, would amend some of the country’s decades-old labor laws to give workers more power during disputes at work, add penalties for companies that retaliate against workers who organize and grant some hundreds of thousands of workers collective-bargaining rights they don’t currently have. It would also weaken “right-to-work” laws in 27 states that allow employees to forgo participating in and paying dues to unions.
The House passed the bill with a vote of 224 to 194, mostly along party lines.
The bill is unlikely to be taken up by the GOP-controlled Senate, as Republicans and business groups have argued forcefully against it, saying it would hurt employers, violate privacy rights and be a major boon for national unions.
