4.29.20 Congressional Fed Employee - Govt Contractor Legislative Memo

As Congress considers additional measures to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, the Metal Trades Department, AFL-CIO, urges all members of Congress to conduct collective and individual oversight of
current enacted “Cares Act” legislative packages that both Houses of Congress overwhelmingly passed to help American workers. This is necessary as many enacted solutions relating to issues affecting work place
safety and employment conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are not being properly
administered or carried out. Congress needs to do even more through legislation to help American workers
during this pandemic crises. However, it behooves the legislative branch to ensure that the new fixes currently enacted and in place are being correctly administered and benefitting the intended targets.
