“I think we have to have a liability reform,” the majority leader said in an interview with CNBC. “I don’t think the economy has any shot at all of getting back to normal if every entity in the country is dealing with frivolous lawsuits.
”Our Standards:If a company doesn't offer proper protection for its employees should be held liable.
No Qualified Immunity - isn’t that the mantra today?
Basically his constituents elect him to protect big businesses? Not sure why they are keeping him around.
Typical, accept no responsibility. You can’t even get the “Re-opening” of America right. Absolutely no adherence to plan. Now you want to cover your ass because you know you put millions of people at risk. MAGA-MAKE ANOTHER GRAVE AGAIN
Stop worrying about protecting ur ass and protect the citizens!
U all will have to quit lying
NO
Stop treating the virus like a joke and you won't have to worry about lawsuits. Take people's lives and health seriously and your safe.
I wish we could sue him for bad legislative conduct
Can’t give a pass to those who fail to sanitize their equipment should not be given a pass.
It’s a good excuse to shield big corporations. Allows them to reopen with no safety requirements and it’s get the business and government off the hook for unemployment payouts. Leaves the working American on their own.
This is a fine line, no company should operate without having responsibility of their employees health and safety. There are to many in the back ally business's that will abuse this protection and innocent people will become ill or die.
McConnell wants companies 2 be shielded so they can force workers into situations they know are harmful. Most jobs that have been lost are not coming back. Employers have a responsibility 2 provide a safe working environment. Mitch needs 2 get out of 'slavery mode' & do his job.
What a scumbag, but we already knew that
I may be wrong but I think you can't legislate away responsibility for negligence, especially after the fact. Sit down and shush MoscowMitch
Every company in the country will be sued. Trial lawyers own the Democrats.
Of course he wants liability protection for a rushed vaccine that may do more harm than good. This speaks volume to what crap vaccine they are rushing to market. Hell no will I allow this crap to be injected in me.
Liability protection is needed due to tRump and the entire Republican party’s colossal fuck-up(s). They will all be held accountable
Says the Crony with a ConBoss that starts a new LawSuit Daily
He’s afraid he will be sued for his inaction during this pandemic. There are a lot of republicans afraid of the law suits because most of it is the republicans fault!
If the business is following the CDC guidance that includes a safe environment, there wouldn’t be a problem! Moscow Mitch is the enemy of the people. He has shown his True colors. Stand up to Trump corruption,
Where’s the incentive for businesses to implement safety protocols if they’re shielded from liability? We’ve already seen huge outbreaks in meat packing plants when companies put profits before workers’ safety.
Right, so companies can get away with not protecting their employees without accountability. Why would Repugs, that don't own a company, vote for Repug? Why would they be Repugs? I would rather be controlled by gov than a corp. At least you can vote out gov. *ssholes.
Ex Gov Rick Snyder Mich just found out the courts will allow him to be sued personally for the Flint Mich Water Poisoning These GOP politicians know they are all about to be sued into the ground for corruption and mishandling of Covid 19 I say no way they get off its deterrence
NO!!
He has a point against frivolous lawsuits.
GE Appliances/Haire in his hometown of Louisville is having their salaried employees 'volunteer' to work the factory lines because nearly 50% of their hourly workers stopped showing up. GE wants protection if any of those salaried workers get sick or die while working FOR FREE.
Can we still sue him? Because if that’s ever an option I have some lost wages I’d like to discuss with his attorney....
Vote this idiot out before he destroys more of the United States the idiot in chief hasn’t destroyed yet
Abolish Non Disclosure Agreements
FUCK MOSCOW MITCH
Trump: Cain signed the waiver, we're good.
A wave off like this is a gift to big Corporate America.
If people are forced to risk their lives and health during a global pandemic, then businesses should have to be liable for employee safety.
senatemajldr Between you and the CEO’s Labor Secretary, Scalia, workers will have no rights or protections. How do you sleep at nite Mitch. You taking that money to the grave?
If GOP reopening plans are safe there is no need for these protections..
Well without it this nations companies might go bankrupt. HAHA... do you know how hard it was to type that seriously.
No
Trump & McConnell are cutting SNAP—when child hunger is soaring—& refusing to send aid so schools can safely reopen Meanwhile, they're fighting to get liability protections for their rich corporate donors They're not fighting for regular Americans They're fighting against us
NEVER!!
