The state’s labor laws have been amended over the last couple of years to provide workers with additional protections amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. One revision, known as the “right-to-know” law, was signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2020. It requires employers to report virus outbreaks to local health officials and to inform employees about reported infections within one business day.
“We’re glad to have this resolved and to see that the AG found no substantive issues with the safety measures in our buildings,” Agrait said. “We’ve worked hard from the beginning of the pandemic to keep our employees safe and deliver for our customers—incurring more than $15 billion in costs to date—and we’ll keep doing that in months and years ahead.”
