Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation 16 VAC 25-220
 

I am writing to ask you to support enactment of the  "Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation 16 VAC 25-220."  This will offer much needed protections to workers across the Commonwealth of Virginia including poultry workers who have been hit hard with illness and loss of work during the covid-19 pandemic.  During the pandemic many workers continued to work in order to provide goods and services for those who depend on them.  This kept the supply chain intact but created health risks for the workers. These workers deserve protections under the Emergency Regulation.  Please show these workers that their lives matter.
