 of ,california7 submitted the following
 resolution2 which was referred to the  
,committee on ,education and ,labor     
,,resolution  ,recognizing the          
contributions of distribution and       
warehousing workers during the #bjbj    
coronavirus pandemic4  ,whereas the     
outbreak of the novel coronavirus       
7,,covid-#ai7 has led to a state of     
unprecedented economic disruption in the
 ,united ,states2 ,whereas the          
widespread implementation of            
stay-at-home measures and restrictions  
on many categories of businesses        
produced a surge in demand for delivery 
services1 with its effects felt at every

 link in the supply chain2 ,whereas     
employees in warehouses1 shipping1 and  
distribution centers have been called   
upon to fulfill this increased demand as
 essential workers during the pandemic2 
,whereas these employees work for long  
hours in physically demanding roles     
doing tasks essential for the economy2  
,whereas these employees have frequently
 lacked the personal protective         
equipment needed to fully guard against 
,,covid-#ai2 ,whereas some employees are
 reported to have contracted the virus1 
and many workers fear that they may     
contract the virus because their        
essential work means they cannot remain 
at home2 and ,whereas workers in many   
facilities have requested their         
companies support them by providing     
information1 safety equipment1 adequate 
compensation1 and other conditions      
necessary for them to do their jobs with
 confidence3 ,now1 therefore1 be it     
,that the ,house of ,representatives--  
7#a7 declares that workers involved in  

the warehousing1 distribution1 and      
delivery industries play a vital role in
 sustaining the ,nation during this     
emergency2  7#b7 expresses gratitude to 
these workers and all who are performing
 essential tasks during this outbreak2  
7#c7 supports these workers' receiving  
hazard pay1 personal protective         
equipment1 and adequate health          
insurance2 and  7#d7 calls upon the     
,occupational ,safety and ,health       
,administration to ensure that employers
 in these industries are maintaining a  
safe workplace free from hazards that   
are causing or are likely to cause death
 or serious physical harm to employees1
