Schumer: Phase 4 Coronavirus Legislation ‘Will Come Up in a Few Weeks’

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called for President Trump to grant hazard pay for federal workers who are in harm’s way and argued that Congress should legislate this in phase four of coronavirus legislation, “which will come up in a few weeks.”

Schumer stated, “[H]e can do this by executive order, give hazard pay to all federal workers who are in harm’s way, and then, I think we should legislate it, and require everybody to get it. We’d have to do that in COVID 4, which will come up in a few weeks.”
