Heartbroken by this news. Our brave first responders are on the frontlines of responding to the #COVID19 pandemic every day and we owe so much to them. My thoughts are with Mario Araujo's family and the CFD for this immense loss.
Illinois workers on the frontline against the #COVID19 pandemic deserve strong, federal protections to guarantee a safe & healthy workplace. That's one of the reasons why I introduced legislation requiring OSHA to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to protect frontline workers
I'm proud to have worked with @AFSCME @afscme31 on this, and I'm working to include it in any future relief package. #fundthefrontlines #protectworkers
