Lack of testing, disjointed child care and different supply and demand needs from an industry to industry basis should make returning to work gradual and messy, according to experts and executives.
Other industries, especially retail, are looking to China for guidance. China's economy has been slowly coming back online in recent weeks as the government lifts lockdown orders. As people begin shopping there again, retailers like Levi Strauss said they'll be looking at consumer habits and adapt accordingly once stores open in the U.S. Other retailers are expecting an acceleration of the shift to online shopping as people are forced to order goods online during the lockdown.
The close quarters of city offices may add another barrier to urban employers whose workspaces are not built for social distancing. Another is simply having enough knowledge about the spread of the disease, which comes down to testing as many people as possible. Employers have a duty under the Occupational Safety and Health Act to make sure they provide a safe workplace. But it will be hard for an employee, client or customer to prove they were exposed to COVID-19 at the workplace, rather than the dry cleaner or grocery store, Segal said.
Let’s do it!
It's not risky when you realize 2018 flu was just as big
Then provide them with safety equipment.!
Never ever trust fakenews
Set a money prize for first to develop vaccine. It's the real solution, bailouts are first aid
TheDemocrats want failure. Clown controlled media wants realDonaldTrump and 🇺🇸 to fail.
Voting for democrats is risky! Believing CNBC🇨🇳 is risky!
Those companies need to start coming up with ways to protect their employees or they will face a worse problem when they have to put out large amounts of money to train new workers.
Ware your MASKS
I am working from home, which I usually do several days a week anyway. I’ll go back to the office when there is a vaccine. Or when there are no new cases for a month. For those who can’t work from home, I’ll stay out of your way to help keep you safe
Testing, testing, f-ing testing! Get that part working. The Android/iPhone app will help with getting people out if they know the population is being monitored for any flare ups. Environmental, pool & random testing. The last thing we need or want is a repeat of this mess.
Gee wiz...give us some credit, we can socially distance and wash our hands
Or at some point employees will demand of their employers to allow them to start doing their jobs again and save their families futures. Which one do you really think happens first?
They would force workers back at their own peril and eventual doom. There MUST be a precise, calculated, coordinated, meticulously planned return to avoid a relapse. Are those 'biggest companies' ready? What's their contingencies & how much influence will they have with trump?
No.....
All the CEO's first... Not last...
You got that right ... second wave will be coming. No easy fix were in for a long battle.
They don't decide. We the people do. We tired of being exploited. We want a new fair deal or we will never go back to work. Its our world.
And what if there employees refuse? It's a question employer's will have to be ready for when they ask that question. I see a very big movement by workers at that moment. They will have leverage with their employer's and have one opportunity to use it.
The sooner the better, but we need anti-contagion policies & practices in place ASAP
The risk can be mitigated using many of the 30 Day mitigation techniques. Many people can go back to work.
