Democrats said state law should also protect workers from companies that don’t provide protective gear or require masks.
“We have prioritized companies. We haven’t done anything for the workers, ”said Dewey McClain, a Democrat from Lawrenceville. “Everyone wants companies to be open, but do we want to take care of the workers? If you want to take care of the workers, you would vote no to that. “
According to the law, companies are shielded from legal liability unless they show “gross negligence, willful and willful misconduct, reckless infliction of damage or willful infliction of damage”.
