SSGA signs letter to Congress on COVID-19-related legal liability

SSGA signed onto a letter drafted by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) urging Congress to act to ensure that essential businesses operating to support our nation’s response to COVID-19 are not subject to frivolous lawsuits.

The NAM letter is a targeted and carefully constructed approach that is designed to generate bipartisan support. The organizations that signed the letter represent millions of Americans working in essential industries that have been called upon to continue operating to support our nation’s response to the COVID-19 crisis. Yet, because they have remained operational during times of legal uncertainty, they risk becoming the targets of coronavirus-related lawsuits. Congress must act to ensure that such misguided litigation does not derail our recovery.

The letter was delivered to Capitol Hill Monday. View the letter here.
