Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader, has been a prominent voice in the ongoing debate over the coronavirus bailout package. He has been pushing for measures that prioritize the needs of workers and their families as the country grapples with the economic fallout from the pandemic.
In a recent interview with MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Sen. Schumer stressed the importance of putting the workers first in any bailout plan. He emphasized that the focus should be on providing assistance to those who have been directly impacted by the crisis, including low-wage workers, gig economy workers, and small business owners.
Sen. Schumer has been a vocal advocate for including provisions in the bailout package that would ensure paid sick leave for all workers, expanded unemployment benefits, and financial support for small businesses to help them keep their employees on payroll.
The senator has also been critical of the Trump administration’s initial proposal, which he argued did not do enough to address the needs of working families. He has been pushing for a more comprehensive relief package that includes direct cash payments to individuals and families, as well as increased funding for healthcare services and programs that provide food assistance to those in need.
Sen. Schumer’s stance on the bailout package reflects his long-standing commitment to protecting the interests of workers and advocating for policies that promote economic equality. He has been a vocal critic of corporate bailouts and has called for increased oversight and accountability to ensure that government funds are used to support workers and small businesses, rather than executives and shareholders.
As the negotiations over the bailout package continue, Sen. Schumer’s leadership and advocacy for workers’ rights and economic justice will be crucial in shaping the final relief package. His efforts to put the workers first in any bailout plan are a reflection of his dedication to ensuring that the government’s response to the coronavirus crisis prioritizes the needs of the most vulnerable in society.
In a time of unprecedented challenges, Sen. Schumer’s unwavering commitment to putting workers first serves as a reminder of the importance of leadership that prioritizes the well-being of all Americans. As the country navigates through the economic uncertainties brought on by the pandemic, Sen. Schumer’s voice and advocacy for workers’ rights will undoubtedly continue to be a driving force in shaping policies that provide relief and support to those most in need.

❌All small business owners that will fail and go bankrupt need to go protest at Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Democrats homes and offices because they refuse to give additional $funding$ for PPP program. Also come November elections vote all the democrats out of office and see how they like losing their Taxpayer funded jobs. Nasty Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are selfish power hungry sick humans. They are prefect examples why we need term limits in Washington DC.
No one learned anything from the last auto and AIG bailouts?
It's the Democrats that are stopping Americans getting paid. Such liar's
And dems wants Obama phones back, a tax on solar power, and better carbine emissions of airlines added….
Wtf….
Can we just get help for the everyday worker please?!?!?!?!
These Democrats are holding Americans hostage by trying to include other things in this bailout that don’t have anything to do with the bailout! Money for the “green new deal”, really? They are still pushing this narrative that is not good for the American workers, because if we start abiding by the rules for the “green deal”, all those jobs lost will be going to other countries, and that’s on top of the jobs we lost because of the North American Free Trade Agreement! These Democrats are insane!
Ah f**k it, these hacks can keep it..
Put workers first after every shady industry and back door deals are done. Incompetence at its finest after all these people fail us again they need to resign.
Still waiting
spineless garbage, instead of trying to impeach a president, should have spent your energy bracing for this virus. piece a sh!t
Schumer and Pelosi have stalled the whole process by trying to sneak in funding for abortion clinics. Don't let these Swamp Creatures fool you… People are dying and they are still playing politics !.
Americans won’t put up with this much longer!
This Bast..d is a fear monger!
He is PURPOSEFULLY frightening the most susceptible Americans!
What a dirtbag!!!
IDEA came to me last night, get out HALLOWEEN MASKS, plastic & cover whole face. Use clear tape to cover eye/mouth slits. Halloween costume companies are set up to make MASKS BY MILLIONS, make CLEAR, without color or paint, mass produce to use in all hospitals. Covers whole face, complete protection. Made in USA. Remove tariffs on China, ship USA FREE! Spray w/91% alcohol between uses, air dry & perfectly sanitized INSTANTLY between uses. More sanitary then re-using paper or cloth masks. Mass produce cheap 91% alcohol/ little spritzer bottles for pockets, sold at Walmart cheap. Cost to make/sell 1 penny / mask. Not expensive healthcare costs. Also, healthcare workers are ordering racketball glasses. Get out those masks, when clear ones are made, decorate them to lift spirits of patients…..spritz, and ready to go to next patient. Alcohol does wash off magic marker, so decorating might not be a good idea. It would have to be permanent paint to decorate. These clear masks one penny each…mass produced…sanitized immediately between patients wi/ 91% alcohol! Also the HEALTHCARE company sent 1,000 respirators to CHINA IN JAN. Now they cannot make for USA until JUNE! Backup cause they sent them to CHINA FIRST. Trump rallies were more important in JAN/FEB than prep for Virus. Use your kids halloween mask, until the CLEAR one comes in. Put spritzer bottles of 91% alcohol in your pocket spray w/ 91% alcohol in between people. patients/drive bys. no need for cloth or paper masks. just Clear tape over mouth/eye slits if open. Bypass the healthcare companies who are overcharging ridiculous and high prices to hospitals and patients for cheap plastic and paper mouth masks that do NOT COVER WHOLE FACE….long time to manufacture and mass produce…and very expensive….forget those healthcare companies they are in it for $$$…not public safety and saving lives….as Trump is doing same thing!
Healthcare company is charging respirator $11,000 each. 2 guys/ scientists recreated respirator piece in 3D printer for $1. the company screamed patent violation! One female doctor at a hospital, figured out how to HACK into one respirator and used it for FOUR PATIENTS at once!
FYI: Malaria is a parasitic infection. Not viral or bacterial. No human can use a Parasite medication /RX and be cured from a virus, esp. COVID 19. Trump is dangerously giving FALSE HOPE to million of Americans with FALSE, FAKE PROMISES. Only VACCINE is the CURE FOR COVID19 not available until next year . Only listen to Dr. Fauci, he knows what he is talking about…… not FDA or Trump. Trump is lying to the American public again with his poor lack of knowledge of Science! The side effects of Parasite medication are extremely painful also. It is only made to attack a WORM inside the body, from mosquitoes, not VIRAL. Viruses cannot be cured with RX or antibiotics either! Three different forms of infection: parasite, viral, bacterial. Like POLIO can only be cured with a VACCINE, not antibiotics or anti parasite medication. Trump is release false and very very dangerous information and hope and there is not enough masks in healthcare facilities, One hospital already had to close due to lack of supplies. He is lying about dismantling the PANDEMIC Committee in 2018, leaving USA vulnerable for this very situation. He has very poor incompetent judgment for any medical emergency.
I sent this same message to email & called VM & helpdesks GOV NY & OHIO & to Dr. Fauci & entire staff at NIH. Minister Gail

Your full of–t not what you did or allowed Hillary to do. When this is over we will need our jobs back. As far as working people go and no money to other. I would rather the money go to single women elders, and health for all who lost insurance. All this Trump has said. Give credit where is credit is do and O'Bama did the thing your talking about in employment. Keep your fingers out of the pie. Your brilliant just repeating what already has been said and things being done. Sick people
Spending on citizens from bottom up will be far more effective than spending on corporations to trickle down….The corporations have already shown what they would do with any money from congress…Stock buybacks and golden parachutes abounded…Lets not trust Corporate largess and instead rely on consumers to spend.
Why couldn't they pass a bill that would pay people then make under forty and $30,000 a year the Republicans administration again given to the wealthy the rich who makes $75,000 and up these Republicans are not going to want to give the working class in the middle class anyting they only pass the bill to give to those that are wealthy making $75,000 a year and up when it comes to theworking class in the middle class who are struggling spending all that bill money on their children and families in parents they taking care of they're not going to want to give uss making 40 thousand and under anyting if you making $75,000 a year you are wealthy we must be members food prices has skyrocketed before this cobrate 19 happened in the United States under the Republican administrationand they are still passing bills even in this crisis that benefit the wealthy $75,000 in up what about those making 40000 + 30000 + 20000 and underthey're not going to want to give them anything they only give to the wealthy and the rich if a bill comes up for themto pass to give those making under 40000 30000 + 20,000 and 10000 the same as they giving those wealthy people making $75,000 and up is not going to happen
I know Chuck didn't mean it this way…but he basically told American business…fire your people right away before we offer this bailout money.
