Union Steps Up Pressure as Biden Administration Delays COVID-19 Safety Rule for Workers
Growing concern that worker protection may not be enacted. Delay Coming from âTop Political Levels of the White House.â
Despite growing pressure from labor groups and worker advocates on Capitol Hill, the Biden Administration continues to delay an emergency COVID-19 worker safety protection that was supposed to launch March 15âand itâs still unclear when (or even if) the measure will be enacted.
âWe have called for an ETS since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with other labor unions, and we believe it is imminently necessary to protect workers. While the last administration ignored us, we were encouraged when President Biden included the ETS in the Executive Order on Protecting Worker Health and Safety.â

Democratic Representative Bobby Scott, who chairs the House Education and Labor Committee, urged the Senate to pass the PRO Act which passed the House last month to make it more difficult for companies to interfere with union organizing.
