At the time of our request, there were just five confirmed COVID-19 infections in the U.S.

So my question to the Secretary of Labor is, after tens of thousands of workplace infections and hundreds of worker deaths, why is OSHA missing in action?

OSHA's failure to take meaningful action has sent a clear message to workers across the country that they are on their own.

In mid-May, as workers continued to face risks of infection, illnesses, and death, the agency is still refusing to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to protect workers from exposure to coronavirus.
