touched on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson going in and out of intensive care due to coronavirus and Bernie Sanders dropping out of the presidential race. However, the real story he wanted to unpack was how the coronavirus has impacted the unemployed and essential workers.
From here, Oliver took the time out to unpack Kudlow’s wife’s works — which are mostly of paintings of his shirts and ties. That said, Oliver made a call out to anyone who may have one of her works and offered $10 — plus a $20,000 donation for a food bank in their area. “While the company claims its keeping workers safe by distributing masks and conducting temperature checks, many Amazon workers paint a much different pictures such as ‘an inability to maintain social distancing guidelines, a lack of protective gear and hand sanitizer and lack of time to clean their hands’,” said Oliver.
On top of all this, these companies should be offering paid sick leave — and many of these big companies don’t. Congress required two weeks of paid sick leave in the first response act to the coronavirus, but it only applied to businesses fewer than 500 employees. That said, the big companies are less generous.
“Congress absolutely needs to mandate all businesses provide paid sick live in a next coronavirus aid bill on a permanent basis as well as require they provide significant hazard pay for any worker risking their lives,” said Oliver.
