HR-6778 : Still Just a Bill

This bill prohibits corporations that receive specified federal aid related to the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic from making certain changes to their workforce. Specifically, corporations receiving such aid must not

  • reduce workforce levels, employee benefits, or wages; or
  • alter any collective bargaining agreements.

These prohibitions apply beginning on the date a corporation first receives such aid and end one year after the date on which the later of either the termination of the COVID-19 public health emergency or the aid has been repaid.
