Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Representative Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) announced a list of compensations they say essential workers are entitled to because of the risk they are putting themselves in to provide for the public.

The lawmakers unveiled the “Essential Workers Bill of Rights” on Monday, which is meant to protect frontline workers as they risk infection to provide basic services. They called for the next coronavirus relief package to include the Essential Workers Bill of Rights.
