All Teamster employers should do their part in the battle against Covid-19, the Coronavirus. At a minimum they should follow the CDC guidelines for all employers.
Our union should insist on it and demand that employers relax absentee policies. The CDC guidelines include:
-
Ensure sick leave policies are flexible
-
Do not require a doctor's note for employees sick with acute respiratory illness
-
Permit employees to stay home to care for a sick family member.
The Teamsters Union has a comprehensive fact sheet on Covid-19.
