TEAMSTERS - HOUSE PASSED BILL EXPANDS PAID SICK, FAMILY LEAVE; PROVIDES
FOR CORONAVIRUS TESTING
(WASHINGTON) - The following is a statement from Teamsters General
President Jim Hoffa about H.R. 6201, the "Families First CoronaVirus
Response Act," legislation approved by the House early Saturday and
awaiting action in the Senate that expands paid sick leave and family
leave and provides for free COVID-19 testing and greater Medicaid
benefits.

"Hardworking Americans nationwide are facing an unprecedented health
calamity that is challenging our way of life. Working families not only
need to worry about potential illness, but the loss of wages due to
sickness and from businesses being shuttered.

"That's why the Teamsters were pleased to see the House taking
bipartisan action this weekend to make sure more working Americans who
are facing great economic uncertainty get the assistance they need. But
it is essential that the Senate follow suit as soon as possible. The
needs of working Americans must be addressed.

"We acknowledge that this bill has many shortcomings, particularly in
that it includes a carve-out for large businesses. But the Teamsters
will continue to fight for these provisions and more as Congress
continues to consider legislative responses to the coronavirus
pandemic."
